iPads removed from sale over trademark infringement
AUTHORITIES are removing iPads from the stores in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province after the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court ruled that Apple Inc has violated the trademark of Shenzhen-based Weiguan Science and Technology Co Ltd.
Some electronics stores in Shijiazhuang have stopped selling iPads because the Shijiazhuang Industrial and Commercial Administration sealed their stocks of iPads after the court verdict.
Officials said they received a lawyer's letter from Weiguan, saying Apple's trademark iPad violated its rights. After verifying the authenticity of the information, the officials began to take action.
Under the Chinese law, products involved in trademark violation should be confiscated and Apple Inc could be fined up to five times of its profit made from selling iPads.
Officials said they are still checking the quantities of iPads sold in Shijiazhuang.
