Proview International Holdings Ltd., which claims ownership of the iPad trademark in China, asked retailers to stop selling Apple Inc.’s tablet computer as the dispute between the two companies intensified.
Some retailers halted iPad sales after Proview submitted complaints, Roger Xie, a lawyer representing Hong Kong-traded Proview, said by phone yesterday, declining to identify them. Separately, Internet shopping sites including Amazon.com Inc.’s Amazon.cn and 360Buy.com no longer displayed iPads or quoted prices for the product.
