On May 22, 2007, Advanced Analogic Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the initial determination by an Administrative Law Judge of the United States International Trade Commission (the “USITC”) in the Company’s litigation with Linear Technology Corporation (“LinearTech”) before the USITC. Administrative Law Judge Sidney Harris of the USITC issued his initial determination, finding all asserted claims of LinearTech’s U.S. Patent Nos. 6,411,531 and 6,580,258 were either non-infringed or invalid. Based on this finding, Judge Harris ruled that none of the Company’s charge pump or switching regulator products should be subject to an exclusion order under Section 337 of the Tariff Act.
The full text of the press release concerning the foregoing is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
