MMRGlobal Revives Five Material Biotech Patent Applications

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - November 12, 2010) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) (www.mmrglobal.com) today announced that it has successfully revived five U.S. biotech patent applications, bringing the Company closer to its goal of patent protection for all its B-cell vaccine and anti-CD20 antibody related intellectual property acquired during the Company's reverse merger with Favrille, Inc. The Company has been working to perfect the patent condition of its biotech assets for more than a year and these are part of its U.S. patent portfolio. MMRGlobal also has patent applications pending in 13 foreign countries of commercial interest that provide competitive advantages for this biotechnology, including its Specifid vaccine. 

The subject patent applications specifically include protection for anti-CD20 antibodies, methods of treating B-cell lymphomas using anti-CD20 antibodies, manufacturing methods for idiotype vaccines to treat B-cell pathologies, methods for treating B-cell malignancies with vaccines, and methods for using the vaccines as combinational therapies with chemotherapeutic agents. In addition, as previously announced, the Company has been issued U.S. Patent No. 6,911,204 for methods of treating B-cell mediated malignancies. These assets relate to MMRGlobal's pre-merger clinical FavId and Specifid vaccine trials, during which time it spent in excess of $200 million to develop vaccines to treat lymphoma. 

Robert H. Lorsch, MMRGlobal Chairman and CEO, said, "These patents represent additional opportunities to recoup our costs through licensing and strategic business opportunities with universities, pharmaceutical companies and others who might utilize these assets in the development of similar cancer fighting vaccines and therapies."

Prior to the merger and unbeknownst to the former Favrille Board and the Company, the patent prosecution of its biotech assets was terminated. Upon learning of the termination(s), the Company immediately began diligent efforts to reinstate these assets for the benefit of shareholders.
