中國(guó)法庭星期三聽(tīng)取蘋果公司在iPad商標(biāo)爭(zhēng)端上訴中的有關(guān)辯詞。有關(guān)蘋果公司備受歡迎的平板電腦產(chǎn)品的這起訴訟引發(fā)高度關(guān)注。
Judges with the Guangdong high court are expected to announce the date for their decision whether Apple or the Taiwan-based IT company Proview has the rights to use the iPad name on devices sold in China. The case has high stakes for both Apple — one of the world’s most profitable companies — and Proview Electronics, a once-strong computer display manufacturer that now is on the verge of bankruptcy.
預(yù)計(jì)，廣東省高級(jí)人民法院的法官將宣布判決結(jié)果的日期。判決將決定蘋果公司和總部設(shè)在臺(tái)灣的信息技術(shù)企業(yè)唯冠公司誰(shuí)將擁有對(duì)中國(guó)境內(nèi)銷售的產(chǎn)品使用iPad名稱的權(quán)利。此案對(duì)雙方都事關(guān)重大，蘋果是世界上效益的公司之一，而唯冠這家一度強(qiáng)盛的計(jì)算機(jī)顯示器生產(chǎn)廠家現(xiàn)在瀕臨破產(chǎn)。
Stan Abrams, a Beijing based lawyer and professor of foreign investment and intellectual property law at the Central University of Finance and Economics, said that while Apple could have avoided the suit by being more careful, Proview has also made mistakes.
斯坦·艾布拉姆斯是一名居住在北京的律師，也是中央財(cái)經(jīng)大學(xué)的外國(guó)投資和知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)法教授。他說(shuō)，雖然蘋果本可以更加謹(jǐn)慎從而避免訴訟，但唯冠也犯了一些錯(cuò)誤。
Between 2001 and 2004 Proview registered an iPad trademark in Europe and six other markets through its flagship company, Proview Taiwan. The group’s largest operation, Proview Shenzhen, registered the trademark for the name within China. In preparing for the launch of the iPad, Apple bought the "global" iPad trademark from Proview, a portfolio that the U.S. company believed included the Chinese trademarks.
從2001年到2004年，唯冠通過(guò)臺(tái)灣唯冠在歐洲和其他六個(gè)市場(chǎng)注冊(cè)iPad商標(biāo)。深圳唯冠在中國(guó)注冊(cè)了同一商標(biāo)。蘋果公司在準(zhǔn)備推出iPad時(shí)，從唯冠購(gòu)買了“全球”iPad商標(biāo)，并認(rèn)為此舉涵蓋了中國(guó)的iPad商標(biāo)。
Proview has since claimed to the contrary, and a Shenzhen court recently agreed that Apple does not own the rights to the name within China. Apple is now appealing that decision.
此后，唯冠提出不同解釋，深圳一家法院最近判定蘋果公司在中國(guó)不擁有iPad商標(biāo)權(quán)。目前蘋果公司正就這一判決提出上訴。
