Apple to Lose iPad Name in China: The Associated Press reports that the court battle between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Shenzhen Proview Technology isn’t going in Apple favor. According to a Chinese government official, Beijing believes that Shenzhen Proview owns the iPad name, AP said. The comments increase the pressure on Apple to negotiate a settlement. A lower court ruled for Shenzhen Proview, prompting Apple to appeal to a higher court, which has launched settlement talks. AP noted that the Chinese government has taken a greater interest in intellectual property issues, but likely doesn’t want to alienate Apple, which contracts a considerable amount of manufacturing to Chinese factories.
