Hi, I can't say exactly when they stopped marketing Ion lasers, but the story is interesting: Wednesday, July 10, 1996 MARKET CLOSE ION LASER TECHNOLOGY fell $2 to $13 1/8 today after the company announced that it would petition the United States Patent Office for an "expedited review of its proprietary laser-based tooth whitening procedure." The company had previously filed for patent protection for its proprietary tooth-whitening process, but apparently the process was taking too long for the company's tastes. The stock's decline today suggests that some investors might be questioning whether patent approval will arrive soon enough to protect Ion Laser's products. Foolish investors are advised to check out the active Ion Laser message board for more details. Ion Laser Technology Inc. changes to BrightSmile - With their symbol of the American Stock Exchange now BWT.
