Chinese Court Orders Ban On Apple's iPad
zacharye writes "A lawyer representing Proview International on Monday announced that the Intermediate People's Court in Huizhou, a city in southern China, ruled that distributors should stop selling iPads in China. From the article: 'The ruling, which was also reported widely in China's state media, may not have a far-reaching effect. In its battle with Apple, Proview is utilizing lawsuits in several places and also requesting commercial authorities in 40 cities to block iPad sales. Apple Inc. said in a statement Monday that its case is still pending in mainland China. The company has appealed to Guangdong's High Court against an earlier ruling in Proview's favor.'"
And Proview OWNS the trademark and has DENIED that its Taiwan affiliate had the rights to sell the trademark for use in mainland China. So no not SCO Mark 2. However Apple's suing Open-Source over trivial silly software-patents is SCO Mark 2.
That's all well and good, except for the fact that they paid for the trade mark.
They say they paid for the trademark. The court decides whether they legally bought or licensed the trademark.
I think Apple will win this one because they'll be able to show that they really did pay for the trademark in China.
Thats the second time you have said that, got any links to that "evidence", as its the first time I have heard it....
