[Marcus Yam]

Proview does have the trademark to the IPAD, so it's making its claim against Apple.

Go go, sue the heck out of Apple.

 

[cryogenic]

Riiight, another case that will get settled for some pocket change from Apple's side.

 

[molo9000]

lol.
Apple really has a problem with product names.
They already lost the "Mighty Mouse" trade mark to a company which sells hygienic computer peripherals for hospitals and laboratories.

XD

Yay, more Apple haters.

Even Mad TV had an iPad before Apple came out with it (it was a spoof about Apple).

 

[Tomtompiper]

iPlayer and ITV being held by people he can't push around must give Steve sleepless nights.

This won't change anything. Apple will settle out of court, pay a bit of money to an obscure company so it can continue doing whatever it did before, while Apple will keep selling iPads to iSheep and earn loads of cash.

ah they have a patent, all those seem to be good for these days are suing people... not protecting intellectual property, or designs etc. I wonder if I can patent the patenting process so I can make some major money.

Don't sue Apple, sell whatever you've got left to Google, HTC, or MS, & let THEM play with Apple! ;-)

How can Apple sell an iPad in China? All those clones have to retail for like 1/4 the price and usually feature upgrades over official Apple products. lol

 

[cashews]

it's funny because usually it is: Apple has too much money so decides to nuisance suit .

 

[ohim]

I wonder how many ppl are registering trademarks with names beginning with "i" in front. ifood, itoilet, iwheel, ipen, ispeakers, iSteve, iWindows ! iSex etc .

 

[tomate2]

why did the title had to be company needs money and sues apple?
the company is going through financial problems just like any company does
it thinks that apple is using a name that they own...
its got NOTHING to do with the company needing money but about protecting what is legally yours

yeah 1/4 the price also is 1/4 the quality, ever seen the iphone clone?

im going to sound like an ass, but how do you think "intellectual property, or designs" are protected?

a patent gives you the legal right to sue people who use your idea without promission, and they go into public domain in i believe 20 or so years, depending on the patent,

 

[ohseus]

The article is about trademarks not patents. It is just the name ipad the company thinks they own.

 

[zachary k]

just because they are suing apple does not change my view on people that abuse the patent/trademark system like this, go get em apple. leave this fight to someone with a legit case.
