Replica Breitling Aeromarine Apple owns the name ‘iPad’

(CNN) More than two years after releasing its game changing tablet computer, Apple now actually owns the name “iPad.”

A Chinese court says the company has paid $60 million to a Taiwanese firm for the rights Replica U-Boat – Replica Watches UK Sale, nailing down the name as its own in a country that is increasingly becoming a huge market for electronics.

Shenzhen Proview Technology had trademarked the name “iPad” in 2001. Apple paid the company about $55 replica rolex yachtmaster 2 uk,000 in 2009.

“The iPad dispute resolution is ended http://www.asmallheaven.net/replica-romain-jerome-disocunt-uk.html,” the Guangdong High People’s Court said in a statement acquired by the New York Times. “Apple Inc. has transferred $60 million to the account of the Guangdong High Court as requested in the mediation letter.”

Apple did not immediately return a message seeking comment Monday morning.

China is already Apple’s second biggest market behind the United States. It only shows signs of growing as more of its roughly 1.3 billion people become more tech savvy.

A lawyer for Proview told the Times that the company hoped for more money but settled because it has debts to pay. He said it had wanted as much as $400 million, according to the Times.

Proview had argued that Apple didn’t negotiate in good faith, using a shell company that promised not to make competing products under the iPad label. The company alleges the negotiator concealed that he was working for Apple fake carier uk, gave a false name and said the company he represented was IP Application Development or IPAD, for short.

The dispute certainly hasn’t slowed demand for the tablet and other Apple products in China. When the iPad 2 was released last year http://www.mmtmtech.com/fake-vacheron-constantin-uk-hot-sale.html, a skirmish broke out outside a Beijing Apple Store after a man believed to be a scalper was escorted away by security after trying to cut in line.

And some Chinese entrepreneurs don’t even worry so much about the Apple products they sell actually being Apple products. It was unclear at the time whether the gadgets they were selling were actually Apple’s or fakes.
