ITEM 8.01 Other Events

          On January 11, 2006, Align Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a formal complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) against OrthoClear Inc. (“OrthoClear”), seeking to halt the importation into the United States of infringing aligners manufactured by OrthoClear in Pakistan in violation of its patents and other intellectual property rights (the “ITC Complaint”).  Pursuant to a scheduling order issued by the administrative law judge, the hearing on the ITC Complaint is currently set to take place from November 6-16, 2006 in Washington, D.C.  The scheduling order sets February 15, 2007 as the target date for the initial determination and May 15, 2007 as the target date for completion of the ITC investigation. 

          On Friday, July 28, 2006, the Company filed a motion entitled “Complainant’s Motion to Modify the Target Date and Revise the Procedural Schedule” requesting the hearing on the ITC Complaint be rescheduled for December 5-15, 2006 and proposing a new target date for the initial determination as March 30, 2007 and proposing July 30, 2007 as the target date for completion of the ITC investigation.  The Company’s reason for making this motion is to allow additional time for discovery in light of alleged discovery abuses by OrthoClear.  As of the date of this Report on Form 8-K, the administrative law judge has not ruled on the Company’s motion.
