The legal action is part of a broader strategy by Palomar to protect its patent, he added. Paul Weiner, Palomar's chief financial officer, said his company notified Candela about its patent claims "as far back as 1999," but the issue was never resolved.

Palomar claims two of Candela's light-based treatment systems, the GentleLase and GentleYag products, violate a patent it exclusively licenses from General Hospital Corp., part of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Yesterday, Candela countered in the same court with its own patent suit against Palomar. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against rival Candela on Wednesday in U.S. in its long-running campaign to protect its intellectual property.
