J.S.T Corporation (“JST”) appeals a determination by the United States International Trade Commission (“Commission”) finding no violation of 19 U.S.C. § 1337. Specifically, JST argues that the Commission erred in finding claims 2, 4, and 9–10 of U.S. Patent No. 7,004,766 to be not infringed and invalid. We agree with the Commission’s construction of “first holes” “to require that the first (elongated) holes at the periphery of the tine plate in the longitudinal direction must be closer to the periphery of the tine plate than any second hole.” J.A. 38. Because it is undisputed that the accused products do not infringe under this construction, we affirm the Commission’s finding of noninfringement. We also agree with the Commission’s construction of “contact legs” to include legs that connect to ground and affirm the Commission’s holding that the asserted claims were anticipated by the Tyco Docking Station Connector. AFFIRMED
