Apple faces iPad legal battle in China
A Chinese technology company is claiming that it still owns the iPad trademark, and it will seek a ban on exports of Apple's tablet PCs from China.
Proview Technology has petitioned Chinese customs authorities to stop shipments of Apple's popular iPads leaving China.
Apple says it bought Proview's rights to the trademark some time ago, including the rights to the iPad name from a Taiwan subsidiary. But Proview says that did not cover China.
Stan Abrams teaches foreign investment and intellectual property law at Beijing Central University of Finance and Economics. He says Apple could be in a sticky situation here.
