Palomar Medical Technologies Inc. is re-starting its patent infringement case against local rival Candela Corp., saying in a quarterly earnings release that it’s in a much stronger position to pursue the litigation.
“We have filed a motion to re-start our patent infringement lawsuit against Candela and believe we are in a stronger position now than prior to the re-examination,” CEO Joseph Caruso said in the release, referring to a pair of court victories the Burlington, Mass.-based cosmetic laser maker won in June.
