HIStalk has done the Digital Health community a great service by passing this on!
"I haven’t thought of Robert Lorsch of MMR Global very much since I interviewed
him in 2013 after his company filed lawsuits against EHR vendors,
Walgreens, non-profit hospitals, and the government of Australia for
developing personal health record technology that he claimed – not very
convincingly — infringed on his intellectual property. Turns out he died
in May 2017 and the company seems to have met its maker before Bob."

Mr Lorsch was surely a grasping grifter who deserves little sympathy. I remember him being a first rate pest at the time claiming he held patents for the PCEHR etc. way back when. I wonder does the Department of Health know at least one issue is resolved? At the time the MSIA and the DoH were more than a little concerned as I recall while thinking he was a greedy crank. Search the blog for MMRGlobal to see the whole sorry saga on the blog!

I had the pleasure of providing testimony and evidence of prior art for the Commonwealth that made this mob go away.
