唯冠诉苹果侵权案上海开庭 iPad或遭禁售

Apple bought the right to use the trademark from Proview Taipei in February 2010 via IP Application Development Limited (IP), a company based in the US. However, Proview Shenzhen claims it still reserves the right to use the trademark on the Chinese mainland.
2010年2月，苹果公司通过在英国注册的IP Application Development Limited公司（缩写iPadL）买入了iPad商标的使用权。但唯冠（深圳）公司声称该公司仍然保留在中国大陆的商标使用权。双方自此就陷入了商标侵权的诉讼混战中。

Apple said last week that it bought Proview's worldwide rights to the iPad trademark in 10 different countries several years ago. Apple added that a Hong Kong court backed the company, as Proview refused to honor their agreement.
苹果公司上周也打破过往的沉默，就该案发表了一份简短声明，称该公司在几年前就买下了iPad商标在全球范围了10个国家的使用权，指责唯冠拒绝履行协议，并称香港法院已支持苹果。

Although a final verdict in the mainland has yet to be delivered, authorities in some Chinese cities have taken action to seize iPads after receiving complaints from Proview Shenzhen. The move has also prompted Apple retailers in many Chinese cities to pull iPads off their shelves.
虽然此案在中国大陆地区的最终裁决还没发布，但在中国的一些城市，工商管理部门已经开始接受了唯冠公司的投诉，采取行动收缴iPad。这些行动使得各地的苹果产品经销商都不得不将iPad下架。
