Shenzhen Proview West Branch Trade and Industry made a complaint in early 2011, the West Side area, one of the five outlets of Apple in China – Xidan Joy City shop. Currently, West Side Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been filed, and will be accepted.

The same day, Proview and IP signed a “Trademark Transfer Agreement”, agreed the only dubbed the 1 price will be involved in the trademark is transferred to the IP.

But the second year, the IP is transferred to the Apple “iPad” trademark rights obtained after the two companies to the Chinese Trademark Office to apply for the transfer of mainland iPad trademark transfer, by the China Trademark Office rejected.
