California Court: MMAS Research LLC/Steve Trubo has no copyright claim to ownership of Dr. MORISKY's IP derivitive (Morisky Widget)

Update on the Morisky Widget Being Phased out of Existence

12/26/2021

Effective immediately, the Morisky Widget is being phased out of existence. Under the settlement agreement with Steven Trubow signed December 2020, MMAS Research LLC was required to transfer all MMAS 4 and 8 derivatives to Dr. Morisky by September 2021,including the Morisky Widget, Morisky.org, all language translations, all licenses including Morisky widget sub-licenses, and copyright registrations relating to MMAS4 and 8 widget software that bear the name Morisky, etc.

Steven Trubow has very limited authorization to investigate specific infringement cases prior to December 2020, terminating in 2023. He is not authorized to issue new MMAS 4 and 8 licenses, only retroactive licenses relating to infringement cases. I remain the sole developer/owner/licensor of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scales 4 and 8 and derivatives.

We are transitioning all Morisky Widget users who request it to a new upgraded HIPAA and GDPR compliant digital format - the MMAR digital platform. Philip Morisky, CEO of MMAR, LLC, will notify Morisky Widget clients of this legal development and assist them in the transition process to avoid unnecessary infringement claims. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation during this transition period.

Dr. Donald Morisky
President MMAR, LLC

Dear Dr Donald Morisky,

My name is Godstime Onyeunoegbunem. I am a student, undergoing my residency in the Department of Pediatrics, University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, River State, Nigeria.

I am carrying out a research titled “Prevalence and factors for psychological morbidity in adolescents living with HIV as seen in the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital”. Among the study tools include Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS 8) of which you are the developer/owner/licensor.

The research is a requirement for the completion of my residency training in pediatrics. I am from a resource poor and developing country Nigeria, and I have no financial support nor a research grant to fund this research.

I solemnly request for permission and a waver to use the Morisky Medication Adherence scale-8 as well as your thoughts on how to use the questionnaire.

I will be very grateful if this request is granted.

Attached herein is a copy of my research proposal.

Kind regards.

Godstime Onyeunoegbunem
