Proview, who are in receivership with a number of Chinese banks used to be one of the largest computer display makers in China. The problem between the once giant screen maker and Apple sprang up after Proview claimed that they still owned the iPad trademark, while Apple insisted that they bought the iPad name from a sister company of Proview’s.

Proview actually did produce a computer called the iPad which was actually an all in one early iMac clone!
