<h1>Commerce and Industry Bureau Involve in the Trademark Infringement Case of iPad</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Emma111.aspx'>Emma111</a></strong><br /><p>There has been some new information about the case of Apple’s iPad trademark reported by media. When Proview Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Shenzhen Proview”) and Apple confronted, Shenzhen Proview also complained to the business sector. The economic checking department of the West Branch Trade and Industry has put on record to investigate, and they may issue a bill of a high price to Apple. It is understood that, as early as in 2000, Proview company in Taipei under the leadership of Proview International company had registered the trademark of iPad in many countries and regions; in the the second year, Proview Shenzhen of Proview international company registered two categories of iPad trademark in Mainland China. At this point, Apple has not launched iPad tablet computer products. In 2006, when Apple was preparing to launch iPad, it found iPad trademark was owned by Proview. Therefore, on the grounds of removing idle trademark, it prosecuted Proview Company in the United Kingdom but eventually lost. In 2009, Proview Company in Taipei transferred the global trademark right of iPad to Apple. The PROVIEW said trademark right of iPad in the Chinese Mainland was not included in the transfer; in Mainland China, the trademark right of iPad belongs to the Shenzhen Proview and Proview Taipei has no power to sell it. Later, Apple jointly prosecuted Shenzhen Proview, asking the court to sentence the exclusive trademark right of iPad to his own possession and claiming compensation of 4 million yuan. The Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court accepted the case on April 19, 2010, and trial three times last year, in December last year, the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court of first instance verdict, dismissed the claims of Apple. Apple refused to accept the appeal to the Guangdong High Court, the case is still pending in the process. According to media reports, in December last year, Proview's attorney said, Proview has started to bring a lawsuit against dealers authorized by Apple in the Guangdong region, and asked Apple dealers to stop the infringement—to stop using the trademark of iPad. Futian District People's Court and Huizhou City Court have accepted the case. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Since the online game is so popular now, Tory decided to have a try.
