According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the titletransfer was recorded on March 17, 2010, five days after Apple began pre-selling its first iPad.
The firm also found a number of foreclosure sales that occurred less than 20 days after the Notice of Trustees sale, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the titletransfer to the new owner.
But the signed and notarized papers to transfertitle were never recorded, says the court filing, which Sheila only discovered after Hassan Nemazee was indicted by federal prosecutors in October 2009.
