Lastly, on May 20, 2013, MMR announced the filing of a complaint for patent infringement against Jardogs LLC, a subsidiary of Allscripts.

MMR is seeking monetary damages as well as a permanent injunction. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, case number CV: 13-3560, on May 16, 2013, and is available on the court's website http://www.pacer.gov/.

On February 19, 2013, MMR announced that it has been brought to the Company's attention that vendors providing services to the Ministry of Health in Singapore appeared to be infringing on patents (including Singapore patent number 200801954) and other Intellectual Property issued to MyMedicalRecords, Inc. The Company has been advised that personally-controlled health records, or Personal Health Records, are included in programs for the Ministry of Health, the Health Promotion Board, the Health Sciences Authority and numerous other organizations in Singapore, which the Company believes is clearly part of MMR's inventions that led to its MyMedicalRecords patents. The Company has spoken with vendors and others in Singapore and is optimistic that as a result of its patents it can find licensees in the region to offer its IP.

The Company also recently announced relationships with representatives in the Middle East and potential licensees in Japan where the Company believes recent patent awards represent a significant opportunity at this time.
