      True, but to me this is a sign that the world has gone insane over the search for money. not good.

      Ya - for the longest time. Think it could only get worse.

          the fact is that Proview had the mark ‘iPad’ first, well before Apple dreamt of the product


          their dispute is on the territorial rights maintained / continued to be claimed by Proview. Blame the lawyers of both sides did not do a good job. They should have used CSM !

          the day Proview launched their case to get China Customs to block the export, Apple’s market cap dropped by 2%.

                  lol that is so funny and not surprising coming from china. they are right at the top in terms of scams. from fake products to breakable contracts and now this.

                    Konica becomes Konka in China, due to the font style (ic = k), it looks very similar, but can't do any thing about it

                    people doing business in China must understand that their IP law and TM registration is based on first-come first-served basis; a few other countries also like that

                    if your lawyer handling your IP and TM did not advise you, sue your lawyer first for negligence. forget about suing China
