Item 8.01   Other Events.

It has been brought to the Company's attention that the government, both at the state and federal level, in Australia, through the National E-Health Transition Authority (NEHTA), could possibly be infringing on patents belonging to the Company (including Australian patent numbers 2006202057 and 2008202401) and other Intellectual Property (collectively the "MMR IP") issued to MyMedicalRecords.com, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MMRGlobal, Inc. NEHTA has reportedly spent an estimated one billion Australian dollars on a Personal Health Records Program which is the subject of the possible infringement, and which may incorporate numerous portions of the MMR IP. The Company is planning on retaining counsel in Australia to determine if any patent infringement of the MMR IP has occurred. At this time there can be no assurances as to the outcome of any potential infringement by any Australian Government or NEHTA.
