But Proview consultants, and Li Su, president of the monarch venture "First Financial Daily" interview, said Proview does not accept such a judgment, will be in the United States continue to appeal.
In February of this year, the Proview Apple iPad trademark issues in China in the domestic proceedings at the same time on, the ED of California, the High Court claim against Apple to buy from the Proview subsidiary in the UK IP Application Development in 2009 trademark deliberate deception, failed to inform the buyer of apples will really want to buy iPad trademark, behavior out of intimidation, fraud, malicious, Apple should continue to have ownership of the iPad trademark. But soon the apple to the court stated that the original agreement reached, the legal dispute in this case should be tried in Hong Kong, China, the case should be dismissed.
Until May 4, the California Superior Court Judge Mark Pierce, approved Apple rejected the request. Judgment, Mark Pierce, support for Apple's view that Apple provides a clear support for the lawful and valid evidence of the case should be resolved in Hong Kong ". Proview did not put forward strong evidence to address the legitimate there will be "unreasonable" in Hong Kong.
Li Su does not endorse this decision. He said the United States and Hong Kong cases belong to different content should not be confused.
