Proview Sues Apple in U.S. Over Alleged Deception in iPad Trademark Purchase
They were happy to sell the name to a random company, but I guess they realized they could've gotten a lot more out of the name knowing it was Apple purchasing it. I call this doesn't last more than a week in the court systems.
Also, they could've just declined the deal from the beginning.
In its filing, Proview alleged lawyers for IPAD repeatedly said it would not be competing with the Chinese firm, and refused to say why they needed the trademark.
Those representations were made "with the intent to defraud and induce the plaintiffs to enter into the agreement," Proview said in the filing dated February 17, requesting an unspecified amount of damages.
