Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MMRGlobal Has Record-Breaking Million Dollar Quarter

Los Angeles, CA (October 22, 2012) - MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) ("MMR"), a leading provider of Personal Health Records (PHRs), MyEsafeDepositBox storage solutions and MMRPro document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals, today announced that in the third quarter ending September 30, 2012, the Company had sales, deferred revenue and signed customer purchase agreements for more than one million dollars driven by MMRPro. This includes 75 MMRPro systems which are currently being installed and are at various stages of delivery.

According to Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal "We expect the sales momentum we have achieved to continue, particularly in view of the favorable regulatory climate whereby requirements under HIPAA and the HITECH Act could make it difficult for providers to comply with certain guidelines for Meaningful Use without purchasing or licensing MMR's intellectual property including MMRPro. These requirements cover how confidential personal health information is maintained and shared with patients, who are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of having a Personal Health Record like MyMedicalRecords.com, which covers up to 10 family members including pets."

MMR is the owner of a patent portfolio related to personal and electronic healthcare records, including U.S Patent Nos. 8,121,855, 8,117,646, and 8,117,045. MMR also has numerous additional patent applications related to a large number of health IT services, particularly as they pertain to patient information and Personal Health Records. As pending applications are issued, the Company believes they have the potential to expand the scope of its intellectual property pertaining to the provisioning of Personal Health Records and other forms of Electronic Medical Records.

MMRGlobal's patent portfolio covers a broad range of ways to maintain and manage patients' health information, such that if a healthcare professional is communicating health information to patients, including all or a part of such patients' medical records by means such as telephone, facsimile, electronically or via a web-based portal, they have the option to purchase MMR products or services or to license the Company's IP to avoid infringement on MMR's patent portfolio.
