Revolutionary, magical, innovative products... really??!! Ipad?! Iphone?! After stealing their names from respective owners and telling their sheeps they revolutionized, spilled some magic and adding innovation in all of their idevices, yet they still claim they owned it. Even accusing some companies especially samsung for copying their idevices, but what they are doing is the same also.

Go proview, apple has lots of money, time to eat an apple pie. They can't resist even their sheeps, coz obviously you're entitled to it. Just saying...

Anyone who studied the history of ancient and not so ancient China understands corruption is a common theme in the mainland or for the Hans. Just about every major dynasty in China was ended due to corruption. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynastic_cycle for fun reading.

If mainland China makes the wrong decision, it will have severe consequences. The question is did Proview legally transfered the rights of the "iPad" to Apple. If it did, it's just sour grapes. The court in Hong Kong to date have supported Apple's claims.

there is no such a things like law, legal or brands.
I was in china and I could have bought "patek philippe" or "omega" at every possible corner.
Police do nothing about it. Why? Because government says so.
There is no frikking way any company in the world could win in china. Look at "hermes" or bmw. i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e is the most appropriate word.

That's one thing I hate about dealing with China companies regarding patents. Everybody claims they own one, take Plasma Car for example. They've been suing everybody who's been selling a twist and go car that look like Plasma Car and everybody they sued claimed that they have patents for their product from different sources.

Well, tough on Apple on this one...
