HTC Corp., Asia’s second-largest smartphone maker, won a London court ruling against Apple Inc. over patents for touchscreen technology used for its mobile devices, including Apple’s slide-to-unlock feature.

HTC’s devices don’t infringe four Apple patents for the technology and three of those patents are invalid, Judge Christopher Floyd said yesterday.
