But Apple paid Proview for the iPad name in 10 countries including China. Proview is a Taiwain company and their China division is saying the payment Apple made is not valid for the trademark that exists in China.

Proview is going bankrupt very quickly (within 60 days at best) and is trying to eek a couple of million to give to the officers.

Apple is within their rights to defend against this attempt to ignore what they paid for.
