Apple pays $60 Million in iPad Trademark Settlement with Chinese Proview

Apple now has paid twice for the iPad trademark. Back in 2009 they already paid Proview for the iPad name. A couple month ago though, Proview's Chinese unit said that the deal did not include the Chinese iPad trademark rights.
