Icon Laser Solutions of Fort Worth, Texas, filed three patent infringement suits in the past month against clothing makers including Levi Strauss & Co, Gap and VFC over a process for using lasers to mark and fade textiles.

While Icon is asking for damages in all three cases, filed in Dallas federal court, it hasn’t requested a court order barring further use of the technology.

Both the Levi Strauss  and Gap spokeswomen told Bloomberg that their companies do not comment on pending litigation.
