ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.


As previously reported in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by Repro Med Systems, Inc. d/b/a KORU Medical Systems (the “Company’), in connection with dismissal of the case involving alleged infringement by the Company of EMED Technologies Corporation’s (“EMED”) U.S. Patent 9,808,576 (“SDNY ‘576 matter”), the Company had submitted a Bill of Costs for approximately $1,500 and moved the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of at least $1.16 million.


The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to report that, on November 12, 2019, a United States District Court Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of New York issued a Report and Recommendation that the Company’s motion to declare the patent infringement case exceptional and recoup attorneys’ fees and expenses from EMED should be granted in the amount of $1,012,527.67.


The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is not a final decision and will be reviewed, along with any potential objections raised by EMED, by the District Judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company believes that the District Judge will confirm the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, although there can be no assurances as to the outcome or timing.
