An immunotherapy technology for treating cancer and other diseases, jointly developed by Victoria University of Wellington’s Ferrier Research Institute and the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, has been patented and will be the initial focus of a newly-formed company.
The research has been led by Dr Gavin Painter from Ferrier Research
and Dr Ian Hermans from the Malaghan Institute, and works as a
therapeutic vaccine, activating a patient’s own immune system to
recognise and attack cancer cells.

CCGroup Seeks Injunction Against OptumInsight
A California federal jury determined that UnitedHealth Group’s subsidiary OptumInsight infringed Cave Consulting Group’s patent for measuring physician efficiency by operating and licensing its Impact Intelligence software, a competing solution for developing physician efficiency scores.
“The jury found that OptumInsight’s Impact Intelligence software infringed because it uses, among other things, a pre-defined set of medical conditions to evaluate each specialty type,” “Despite the federal jury verdict,
"OptumInsight continues to offer Impact Intelligence to health plans, health systems and others,” explained Dr. Cave. To prevent this Cave recently filed for a permanent federal injunction against OptumInsight. If granted, the permanent injunction will prevent OptumInsight from offering its competing Impact Intelligence software in the marketplace.

Brainwave-reading patents spike on commercial mind-reading apps
More developers are creating commercial applications that use brainwave-reading technology that was previously found only in the medical field.
Last year, brainwave-reading patents quadrupled compared to 2010 and doubled over 2012, according to SharpBrains, a market researcher focused on this type of technology. Sharpbrains CEO Alvara Fernandez said "[the] expansion into non-medical use shows that we are at the dawn of the pervasive non-medical neuro-technology age," explaining the spike in patents.

Apple’s HealthKit Faces Patent Lawsuit
Apple has been sued for patent infringement regarding HealthKit
technology by New Jersey-based LMG 3 Marketing and Development Corp which holds two patents related to the digitization and storage of a patient’s medical records on a mobile device. Those patents were granted in 2002, 12 years before Apple unveiled HealthKit and a slew of mobile apps aimed at health care providers.
Much of the new tools similarly digitize and store patient records for easy access by those providers. LMG 3 claims that Apple touted the adoption of these tools by major health care institutions, some of which had already been approached by LMG 3 with its technology.

Einstein Medical, Inc. Announces Pending Patent of CMS "Lucid"
Exactly how this isn't either prior art or published far too long ago eludes me, but they are making the claims:
Einstein developed the LUCID CMS® because it identified a need for software that would allow a medical practice to manage its website in a cost-effective and timely manner. The company has continued to refine the software and build compatible applications to keep up with the changing needs of the healthcare industry and the evolving standards of the Internet. The name LUCID CMS® was successfully trademarked by the company earlier this year.
Einstein Medical, Inc., a leading provider of Internet marketing strategies to elective healthcare professionals, has submitted a patent application for its proprietary LUCID CMS®(content management system) software
