Proview had a product called the iPad, essentially a clone of a Compaq product.
Xie Xianghui, a lawyer representing Proview, argued that the transfer of the trademark to Apple was invalid.
Proview has had some success in getting retailers to stop selling the iPad as the dispute wears on.
Shenzhen Proview has registered and used the iPad trademark for more than a decade on the Chinese mainland.
Thus perhaps best for Apple to reach an agreement with Proview and make some form of cash settlement.

That was in the IPAD dispute with Proview Technology which exploded last year.
Proview said they owned the rights to the name IPAD and not Apple.
And the only thing of any great value that anyone can see within Proview is this claim against Apple.

Some analysts said the Proview case indicates how Apple's sales growth in China outpaced the growth of its operations here.
Proview has decided to try and sue Apple in the US courts over the rights to the iPad name.
When Apple was readying for the iPad launch they purchased, so they thought, the rights to the name from Proview.

Apple is also embroiled in a dispute over the naming rights for the iPad with Asian electronics firm Proview.
But Chinese authorities refused to recognize the payment and ruled last year that Proview still owned the name in that country.
But in a complicated dispute, Proview claimed Apple set up a shell company to fool it into selling the trademark.
Meanwhile, back at Rancho Cupertino, Apple gets slapped with another suit by Proview, saying that their little game of hide-the-buyer was deceptive.
The iPad is launched, one of the most successful consumer or technology products ever and then Proview discovers something to its advantage.
Apple sued Proview in Shenzhen, but the court in December 2011 ruled in Proview's favor, prompting an Apple appeal to a higher court in Guangdong.
Yang said Proview started producing a device called Internet Personal Access Device in 2000 that looks like a small ordinary PC and uses touch-panel technology.
This court case for example is arguing that the Proview company which had the agreement with Apple said that it was selling the Chinese rights.

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.
In a statement this week, Apple accused Proview of not honoring its agreement to transfer the rights to use the trademark for the product in China.
Proview has been saying this for two years now, almost from the moment that the rights to the name in other territories were sold to Apple.
Which would make a number of state owned banks very happy as that IPAD trademark is now considered the only remaining valuable asset of Proview itself.
