Lice Treatment Patent Infringement Complaint Filed

Larada Sciences Inc., a Utah-based head lice treatment company, have filed a complaint alleging patent infringement by Nitless Noggins, a California-based lice treatment company.

The patents concern methods for lice eradication via localised heat treatment, and are held by the University of Utah Research Federation, who have licensed them to Larada Sciences.

Larada Sciences developed AirAllé, a device for treating lice infection via heat treatment, which received FDA clearance in prior to its release with AirAllé branding in 2013.
