Apple's Proview continues to mean each other misleading

At a noon yesterday, Apple issued a new statement on the iPad trademark right to the newspaper and said that it once again responded to the ownership of the iPad trademark. Apple said that it respects Chinese laws and regulations and also respects the trademark rights of others.

In the statement, Apple stated that "Proview has been deliberately misleading the court and the public, saying that the iPad trademark has long been banned from being transferred or that Apple has made mistakes in the transfer transaction. In fact, Shenzhen Weiguan's management knows well. What he did was, and Shenzhen Proview insisted that we should sign the contract with Proview’s subsidiary, Proview.com, but at that time, Apple did not know Shenzhen Proview’s arrangement. The original reason was to avoid trademark transfer fees. Paid to creditors in mainland China at the time."

Apple also stated that Shenzhen Weiguan’s attempt to obtain excess profits was unfair to Apple. "Proview didn't want to repay the debt when it sold the iPad trademark in 2009. At present, Shenzhen Proview still has a lot of debt, but it is trying to get excess profits from Apple's trademark that has already paid for the transfer, which is unfair to Apple. ."

A few days ago, it was revealed that Apple had not stated its willingness to accept mediation by the court after the Guangdong Provincial High Court announced on February 29th that it had announced a “choice of a date”.

In response, E reporters from the world interviewed Yang Rongshan, the chairman of Shenzhen Weiguan, and Xie Xianghui, the attorney. Xie Xianghui said that Apple’s new statement was “misleading the public that Apple did not find new evidence to prove that it was not infringed”. He said that there is evidence that Apple had known that before the purchase of the iPad trademark, the owner of the iPad trademark in mainland China is not Taiwanese. "Apple's rapid acquisition of iPad trademark rights is premeditated." At the same time, for the Chinese mainland iPad trademark rights belong to Proview or the eight major creditor banks, he revealed that "still belongs to Shenzhen Proview, the eight major banks only trademark revenue." "Shenzhen Proview has publicly expressed its willingness to reconcile." Xie Xianghui said.

Yang Rongshan said, "The company stated that it has never mentioned specific compensation figures. We respect all court decisions."
