Palomar's lawsuit seeks a court ruling that would stop Candela from selling its GentleLase and GentleYag systems and "tens of millions in damages for past sales."

Palomar also has sent letters to about 30 companies seeking a licensing agreement. "Anyone who's using light for hair removal" should license the patent, chief financial officer Paul Weiner said in an interview.
