Interbit has been around for quite a while and are they are the only report distribution technology certified for Meaningful Use. This was new to me as far as the certification as we always talk about medical record software certification especially as this is where the stimulus money lies. Interbit’s technology works with both MEDITECH and Siemens information systems. Below is a little information from their Net Delivery systems. 
There’s quite a few companies that exist using the very early Meditech technologies and data bases such as Epic and the owner of MEDITECH standardized the MUMPS for his software which began in the 70s. I read also on the Interbit site they have
signed an agreement with Catholic Health East to use their NetSafe platform across all their hospitals. This would appear to be some of the clients who would be involved with the license agreement with the patents from MMRGlobal in the US and they have clients outside the US where the patents would apply.
Again I am not a patent expert by any means but try to connect the dots as best I can and this appears that more royalty money is in the making. Interbit Data shows MMRGlobal as a strategic alliance on their website. Here’s an interview I did with Bob Lorsch in December that tells more about the PHR patented technologies they own. BD

(Interbit) have entered into a Non-Exclusive Patent License Agreement to sell MMR-patented technologies and MMRPatientView and MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record (PHR) services to more than 750 hospitals utilizing Interbit's NetDelivery secure software solution.

The initial term of the Agreement is five years and automatically renews to the expiration date of the last licensed patent to expire, which currently in the U.S. is twenty years from the date of filing.
