Boston Laser Resolves All Disputes with Polaroid

Polaroid Corporation and Boston Laser have reached an agreement, which settles all disputes the parties have had in the past.

Boston Laser retains all the intellectual property, equipment and other assets it acquired from Polaroid in April 2000.

In addition to the assets it has from Polaroid, the company has recently acquired the assets of Semiconductor Laser International in Binghamton, NY. Since these new assets include a building with an excellent clean room, the company decided to terminate the lease in the Polaroid Park in Norwood and to move to New York.

Polaroid was for many years the flagship of high-tech industry in the United States. It is known primarily for its instant film. It developed, however, many other high-tech products such as double clad fiber lasers and high power high brightness semi-conductor lasers of legendary reliability.

Boston Laser was very pleased with the acquisition of Polaroid Laser Diode Division. For the last three years, it continued to make semiconductor lasers developed by Polaroid as well as a range of new laser diodes and laser systems.
