Proview says it will sue Apple

Company's claim over trademark could go as high as $2 billion

Beijing - The dispute between Proview and Apple over the iPad trademark heated up on Friday when Proview said it would sue the US tech giant for a violation of their agreement by using the trademark to compete against it.

"If everything goes well, we might file a claim against Apple in the United States a month from now," Yang Long San, founder of the Proview Group, said in a news conference in Beijing.
