Cynosure, Inc. (CYNO) and its largest shareholder, El.En. S.p.A., have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against CoolTouch Inc. in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The lawsuit alleges that CoolTouch's 1320 nm CoolLipo(TM) laser system infringes on U.S. Patent No. 6,206,873, which covers technology using laser energy to remove subcutaneous fat. Cynosure is the exclusive licensee of the 873 patent, which is owned by El.En.
The 873 patent is a fundamental component of the Smartlipo(TM) LaserBodyScuplting(SM) Workstation, a system designed as an alternative to traditional liposuction in patients with small areas of localized fat. Cynosure received FDA clearance to market the Smartlipo workstation in the fourth quarter of 2006.
