A United States District Court has ruled against an EHR vendor which claimed broad patent protection over shared health information.

Judge Otis Wright of the Central District of California invalidated five claims in one of Los Angeles-based MyMedicalRecords’ patents in a case involving Walgreens, Quest Diagnostics, WebMD, and more, according to a blog post from Electronic Frontier Foundation activist Adi Kamdar.

According to Kamdar, Wright's decision is one of many new cases that have implemented the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Alice v CLS Bank. In the case decided by Wright, Kamdar said MyMedicalRecords asserted a patent that covered a method of providing online personal health records in a private, secure way.

It rather seems that the US Supreme Court has spiked MMRGlobal’s guns.

One issue taken of the NEHTA agenda I would suggest, as they seem very unlikely to be sued by MMRGlobal regarding the PCEHR now!
