Proview Applied For Ipad Ban &Nbsp, Mainland China May Not Buy Ipad.

For the debt burdened Shenzhen Proview, the iPad trademark in hand is almost the last straw.

Shenzhen Proview was once the world's leading display manufacturer.

Proview application for iPad ban

Although apple and Shenzhen Proview are still proceeding, many apple dealers are beginning to feel that their businesses are being threatened.

Yesterday, reporters visited Xujiahui, Shanghai, and the Pacific Digital Plaza found that stores selling iPad have said that there are still stocks, but no longer purchase, because the business sector has checked, in two days will be off the shelf.

"Seize not only confiscation, but also a fine, who can afford it!" a shopkeeper who monopolizes Apple products at Xujiahui's 100 brain outlet told reporters that according to his introduction, the iPad of the whole brain of the company is going to be laid off for two days, and even if it is to be sold, it will only be sold secretly.

But the price of iPad is also rising accordingly. "The price of iPad is changing every day, and it is ten yuan more expensive than yesterday".

However, whether the Shanghai market will end the sale of iPad will wait for the outcome of the 22 day trial.

Last week, Proview in Shenzhen prosecuted apple in Shanghai and applied for the court to issue the iPad ban.

Similar to the situation in Shanghai market, there are many provinces and cities in China, which have been involved in the investigation of Apple trademark.

Yesterday, Shenzhen Proview attorney Xie Xianghui told reporters that at present, Shenzhen Proview has been involved in nearly 9 provinces and autonomous regions, more than 20 industrial and commercial departments involved in the investigation of iPad trademark infringement cases.

However, there are different ways to deal with apple iPad in different industries.

The industrial and commercial departments of Hebei, Shijiazhuang, Henan and Zhengzhou have seized the iPad. Among them, the Shijiazhuang industrial and commercial bureau of Xinhua District has seized 45 apple iPad; Jiangsu Xuzhou, Shandong Qingdao and other places only require iPad to get off the shelves; and the iPad products in the Beijing area are still selling normally.

The reporter noticed that, in Shanghai, Beijing and other places of the Gome and other home appliances stores and Unicom 3G franchised store, iPad 2 is still in public sale, has not been affected by any.

However, apple is still appealed. Yesterday, Shanghai Yun bang, a partner of Da Bang law firm, told reporters that, from a legal point of view, prosecution is the right of apple and has not yet come into effect. So far, the trademark rights of "IPAD" in mainland China are owned by Proview.

According to its own rights, Proview has no complaints about the complaints from the industry and Commerce Department, and the industry and Commerce Department is also responsible for the infringement of goods suspected of infringement on the market, in the light of complaints and filing cases.

Greater threat

Jointly investigating iPad by the business sector is only one step in the game between Proview and apple.

Xie Xianghui told reporters yesterday that Shenzhen Proview is also preparing to supply materials to the customs to prohibit the import and export of iPad.

In addition, the future does not exclude iPad network sales channels such as Taobao, Jingdong mall, Amazon China and other rights protection.

Prior to that, Shenzhen Proview has already brought some apple distribution channels to court. Among them, a case of infringement of iPad products sold by Shenzhen branch of Huizhou electric power company will be held in Huizhou intermediate people's court.

As Shenzhen Proview's debt restructuring agency, and Li Su, President of the business venture, disclosed that two American law firms took the initiative to contact Proview, demanding that they be eligible for the agency and claimed that they could claim $2 billion against apple.

But proactive action is not easy.

Huang yding, He Jun's director of business relations, told reporters yesterday that the difficulty of this practice is that it is difficult for customs to investigate individual users, and many iPad products have been produced and sold in the country through Foxconn, and do not even need to bypass customs.

For apple, the bigger threat may be that iPad is in China.

However, Proview has not yet agreed to this authorization, and they still want apple to return to the negotiating table under pressure.

Xie Xianghui said that it is not convenient to disclose the amount of penalty at present, but if Apple continues to drag on, it will only make the payment amount higher.

Prior to that, Proview had raised tens of billions of dollars in compensation.

The debate may still have to wait until the end of this month to see the final judgment of the iPad trademark.

If the Guangdong Provincial High Court upheld the original judgment of the first instance, the iPad 2 mainland sales channel would be totally blocked.

In the case of Yun Yun Ting, Apple will suffer two major consequences: one is administrative penalty, but personally, it is unlikely that Apple will be fined heavily because of its almost no connection with the iPad trademark infringement. The second is to be ordered off the shelf until Apple rename the iPad product, "depending on the brand name of apple, no matter what the name of its product is," iPad said.
