SHANGHAI: A Taiwan-linked company which claims ownership of the iPad trademark in China has filed lawsuits and lodged complaints against Apple for infringement, a lawyer said Tuesday.
Apple lost a legal battle against Proview Technology (Shenzhen) last year after a Chinese court ruled the US company lacked evidence in its claim that Proview was infringing its trademark for the iconic tablet computer.
Xie Xianghui, a lawyer for Proview, which is based in the southern city of Shenzhen, said the company had now filed lawsuits through the courts and made formal complaints to the government after the ruling.
