Item 8.01 Other Events

On January 18, 2006, TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice that a suit had been filed against it by StratEdge Corporation (“StratEdge”) for patent infringement in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. StratEdge filed an amended complaint on June 30, 2006. In the amended complaint StratEdge alleged that the Company makes, manufactures, markets, promotes, advertises, offers for sale, and/or sells power amplifiers in packages that infringe one or more claims of StratEdge patent numbers 5,753,972, 6,172,412, 6,271,579, 5,736,783, and 5,692,298 (“the Asserted Patents”). The Company filed an answer to the original complaint on February 7, 2006, and an answer to the amended complaint on July 17, 2006, denying the plaintiff’s allegations. The plaintiff sought, among other items, an injunction against further infringement, full compensation for all damages attributable to the infringement in an amount according to proof at trial but not less than a reasonable royalty, delivery to StratEdge for destruction of all products that are found to infringe the Asserted Patents, and reasonable attorney’s fees. StratEdge also alleged willful infringement of the Asserted Patents and a declaration that the case is exceptional.

On April 2, 2007, the Company and StratEdge entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and StratEdge agreed to:

• the dismissal of the suit described above, with prejudice, within 10 days of the payment by the Company of $375,000 to StratEdge;

• a mutual release of claims by StratEdge and the Company, except that StratEdge’s release does not apply to parties to the suit other than the Company

• the payment by the Company of an aggregate of $625,000 (inclusive of the $375,000 referenced above) to StratEdge; and

• the grant by StratEdge of a license to the Company of the patents at issue in the suit, as well as other patents owned by StratEdge, with certain exceptions, which shall be worldwide, nonexclusive and perpetual and royalty-free.

The Company had previously reserved $625,000 in connection with the suit by StratEdge and does not expect it to have any impact on its financial condition or results of operations in the period ending March 31, 2007 or future periods.
