I believe Olympia Medical Center is the first hospital to license and agree to the royalties from the PHR (personal health records) from MMRGlobal directly. There have been other agreements to 
include a recent claim with drug store chain Walgreens as well which stated last week they will need to take 30 days to review upon receipt of the complaint from MMRGlobal. Various entities in the healthcare business are in potential violation so agreements appear to vary a bit whether it be a technology provider, a medical records system, drug store chain and so on.

The detailed report references in the original press release can be read below as embedded. WebMD also received a complaint and have not heard yet on their response but I’m sure as it develops more information will follow. Also I met with Bob back when the patent complaints began and he explained to me in an interview a little bit more about how the patients were filed and when. You can also search this web for additional information as there are several other updates I have posted as news becomes available. BD
