Chinese court found that Apple has no rights to the brand of iPad

The Chinese court, dealing with the complaint of Apple against the local company Proview Technology, made an unexpected decision - the iPad brand belongs to the latter, since it was registered by this company in 2000.

While the managers of the apple corporation are recovering from the shock, the Chinese have launched a counter-offensive, filed a $ 1.5 billion counter-claim "for copyright infringement."

It's funny that, apparently, no one would have known about the registration of the brand a decade ago, if it were not for the appeal to the court of Apple itself. For what they fought, they ran into it, as they say :-)
