China’s Proview seeks iPad trade ban in Apple trademark row
A lawyer representing Shenzhen Proview Technology, Ma Dongxiao, said on Thursday that the court stopped proceedings, citing a pending case on the trademark fight in a higher court.
The Guangdong High Court is due to hear an appeal by Apple on February 29 against a lower court decision that favored Proview.
A lawyer for Apple likewise confirmed the Shanghai court decision.
Proview was seeking an injunction to stop Apple from selling iPads in Shanghai.
The companies are feuding over whether Proview sold the rights to the mainland Chinese iPad trademark to Apple in a deal in 2009.
