Apple has been involved in a trademark infringement with Weiguan International (a company in Shenzhen) since last June in 2012. Recently, the trademark dispute has been reported widely after Apple makes an announcement. According to that announcement, Apple has bought the trade mark “Ipad” from Weiguan International in dozen countries in the world. Unfortunately, Weiguan International refuses to implement the protocol in mainland China. Weiguan International in Shenzhen denies Apple’s announcement. It clarifies that Apple just made a deal with Weiguan International in Taiwan. Both Weiguan International in Shenzhen and Weiguan International in Taiwan are Hong Kong Weiguan International’s two subsidiary companies. Shenzhen Weiguan International is the owner of the trademark Ipad in mainland China. Weiguan International in Shenzhen requires the industrial and commercial bureaus in mainland China to stop selling ipads. In some areas, ipads have been removed from the shelves. At the moment, Apple and Weiguan International have not reached an agreement. If Apple fails in the lawsuit, it will face a huge amount of money.
