RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:CEOMedX's technology is fully secure from a number of positions. Firstly, the patents protect the IP however people can work around patents and spectrophotometry is a well known science. Where MedX is protected is the SIAscope is a Class 2 medical device which require a very long and expensive regulatory process to gain clearance to sell in any country. MedX can sell in 38 countries. It takes approximately 1 year to pass the regulatory standards before you are able to sell a similar product in the market. Then you have to design and develop a teledermatology,secure platform in order to move and store the patient's images and private health information. The patient's information will need to be secured in the country of origin and if you want it to be scalable you will require SOC1 level security. This will take a year and a half to design and build. there are numerous additional capabilities you will require in order to be considered a true medical device in the dermatology space. So I think MedX is well protected in this space. Hope this helps.
