HTC Corp. dropped its appeal of a U.S. International Trade Commission patent case over mobile-phone technology that it lost against Apple Corp., according to a notice posted on the court’s website.

The trade agency in February said that Apple wasn’t violating HTC’s patent rights over a way to control how mobile phones manage power supply. HTC sought the dismissal of its appeal May 31 and the request was granted today, according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington.
