Hair Laser Latham Permanent Removal

In the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, Palomar said Candela\'s light-based hair removal systems, including GentleLas and GentleYag, infringe on patents it has exclusively licensed from General Hospital Corp.

Palomar is seeking monetary damages and an injunction against further infringement by the Wayland, Mass.-based Candela.

\"For over seven years, Palomar has sent Candela letters notifying Candela that its products need a license to the \'844 Patent and offering to grant Candela such a license,\" said Patricia Davis, the company\'s general counsel.

Candela could not be immediately reached for comment.

Palomar favorably settled a similar suit in June against Cutera Inc., which also makes skin laser treatments.

Shares of Palomar fell 75 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $34.44 in morning trading on the Nasdaq, while Candela Corp.\'s stock dropped $1.40, or 9.5 percent, to $13.36 on the Nasdaq.
