Proview holds the "iPad" trademark for China and has sued Apple for US$1.6 billion in damages.[1] Apple has countered that the suit is a shakedown to prop up the company due to its significant debt and impending collapse. Apple ended the dispute paying $60 million to Proview.[2]

Proview had been delisted from the stock market and the surviving group have not been able to return to business as of January 2019. Their web site is also gone.
