United States Federal Circuit

The final determination of the International Trade Commission that the importation and sale of certain digital television products violated section 337 of the Tariff Act based on its finding that the accused products infringed a particular patent is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) Commission's construction of the term "channel map information" is affirmed; 2) the Commission correctly concluded that defendants failed to sustain their burden of proving that the asserted claims are invalid; and 3) the Commission's determination that the "work-around products" infringe is reversed as the Commission erred in its finding that the claims do not require that the channel map information be capable of being used.
