Hi There, to answer your questions:
The company that is at www.medbox.com and not our website at www.medboxinc.com, is trying to market a machine similar to ours to be used at doctor's offices for traditional medications.They are out of Missouri and have a corporationnamed Medbox, LLC in that State. We have a trademark and copyright on the name "Medbox" so that company has already been sent a cease and desist notice but since they are still in the development stage of their machine, and apparently have been for the last two years or so, a lawsuit isn't warranted yet on a patent infringement claim, but we have served them with papers to not use our trade name anymore. They are not really competitors, so we are not concerned with them at present.
Dispense Labs still doesn't have a corporate entity setup, and when calling them it is clear that they don't have machines available for sale. Apparently their manufacturer stopped working with them after hearing that they were sued by our company. We are still moving forward with obtaining a judgment against them so they are never allowed to transact business.
Our Medbox Rx (pharmacy storage and retrieval system for prescription meds)is going great. We are currently getting a cost analysis done to be able to show the large chains why our product would save them millions each year.
Lastly, California setting up an advisory board to help regulate dispensaries is desparately needed. It is the wild west out here in that regard and part of the reason I created my machine is to aid in oversight and to have an established method for these clinics to demonstrate transparency. I have been fortunate my technology has been received so well and is continuing to get positive support from new States moving forward.
