By Philip Brooks

ADVERTISEMENTS

The following is excerpted from an October 7, 2008 Candela press release appearing at BusinessWire:

Candela Corporation (NASDAQ: CLZR) today announced the jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ? Lufkin Division ruled in favor of Palomar in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Candela against Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: PMTI) in December 2006. The jury ruled that Palomar did not infringe upon Candela?s 5,810,801 patent and that claims 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the 5,810,801 patent are invalid.

Candela President and Chief Executive Officer stated, ?We strongly disagree with the jury?s decision and are evaluating the Company?s options.?

Candela notes that it continues to have two additional lawsuits against Palomar in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Candela is the Plaintiff in one suit: C.A. No.: 1:06-CV-11410-JLT, and is the defendant in the other suit: C. A. No.: 06-11400 RWZ.
