Apple Suffers Setback in iPad Brand Name Dispute with Proview in Chinese Court

[Mussels]

rules are rules if apple wants to use a name that is already trademarked they pay for it. Its not proviews fault apple is too lazy to find out if a name is already in use or not.

and they did - in north america, at least.

Nah, they will just buy Proview and fire everybody there

why fire better change company name-Iview and make Ipaddy for Chinese market

iPAD is the initial of 'Internet Personal Access Device'

I coined the name iPAD a decade ago -- initial of 'Internet Personal Access Device'. The concept of the device is to do away with Windows, Office, Intel CPU, HDD, FDD, ...... It is solely used to access internet by individual who want to read news, get information, read and writte emails, communicate with friends, play games, access to coursewares, ......

Well um...good luck seeking free money. Oh wait you can't, you never registered that name.

*goes away to try and register "UMAD" (unintuitive money-hogging application developer)*

Aww shoot. Apple already took that.

Don't be so rude, btarunr, and don't be so sure. The rule of game is invented by our forefathers (of human race), who want to create level and fair ground for every human being on earth.

I was the executive director of Proview -- the name that you might not want to hear now. Proview sold many tens of millions of monitors and TVs globally in the past decade under various names and OEM brand names -- the one that you use in might be made by Proview!

Be happy, Go lucky!

Oh, I didn't know you worked for Proview. I thought you were yet another "claimant". Nice to see you post here.

And no, Proview is not unheard of here. I have come across Proview CRT monitors in the past. Just that they looked like clones of Compaq monitors (unless Proview was an upstream supplier for HP-Compaq).

 

[Mussels]

yeah LW, it might have been smarter to identify yourself first, so that we'd take your claim more seriously. good to see you posting here.

I'm fairly certain ProView makes or made monitors for Gateway...as well as for HP Compaq

Nice to see ex CEO's of "Global" companies posting here.... we clearly are having an influence throughout the webzzzz
