Delaware court orders dismissal of Analog Devices’ claims against Knowles Electronics

The U.S. District Court in the District of Delaware has ordered the dismissal of two patent infringement claims originally filed by Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) against Knowles Electronics. The order was issued pursuant to the withdrawal of its claims by Analog Devices under a stipulation of dismissal signed by both parties.
Jeffrey Niew, President of Knowles Electronics, stated, “From the outset of this case, we believed it to be without merit, and simply a response to our pending action with the ITC against ADI. The expedited dismissal of half of ADI's patent infringement claims brought in the Delaware action substantiates our belief. We are confident both in the legal process, and that the remaining claims in the Delaware action will be resolved in Knowles' favor."
