Doctor and Research Company Dismiss Trio of Copyright Suits
Earlier this year, we reported on three separate copyright cases filed by MMAS Research LLC ("MMAS") and Dr. Donald E. Morisky ("Morisky") (MMAS and Morisky jointly "Plaintiffs"). The cases alleged similar facts, essentially that an educational institution infringed on the Plaintiffs' right in a medical diagnostic tool called the Morisky Medical Adherence Scale (the "Scale").
