Apple has no intention of acquiring the iPad trademark: the mainland will be renamed

According to informed sources close to Apple, Apple has been in contact with Shenzhen Proview to negotiate matters concerning the iPad trademark, but Shenzhen Proview insisted that it would not make concessions under the precondition of unsuccessful judgment at the second instance. Apple acquired the iPad trademark. One of the rights may be shelved.

According to the source, if Apple cannot continue to reach an agreement with Shenzhen Proview, Apple may rename the iPad tablet in mainland China to avoid disputes arising from trademark rights.

It is understood that Apple intends to acquire the trademark of the iPad held by Shenzhen Proview, but after a number of communications, Shenzhen Proview continued to maintain a strong negotiation attitude and insisted that it would not make concessions. Apple had no choice but to change its name. A strong attitude is not difficult to understand, the only asset that Shenzhen Proview currently holds is the iPad's trademark rights in mainland China. If Apple's iPad product is renamed in mainland China, Shenzhen Proview will use all its power.

With the imminent arrival date of the iPad 3, presumably Apple also failed to determine whether to change its name in mainland China. Ultimately, it depends on the results of negotiations with Shenzhen Proview. Some insiders suggested that Shenzhen Proview should be based on the two parties. The beneficial purpose continues to be in contact with Apple Inc. and continues to negotiate the transfer of the iPad trademark.
