Default iPad Trademark Claim Dismissed by US court
9 May 2012 Last updated at 07:56 GMT BBC

Chinese firm Proview's case against Apple over a dispute involving rights to the "iPad" name has been dismissed by a court in the US.
Proview had accused Apple of deceiving it into selling the rights by setting up a company, IP Application Development Ltd (IPADL) in the UK.
It claimed that Apple said the trademark was "an abbreviation for the company name". Proview had sold its rights for $55,000 (£35,000) in
2009. The company had appealed to void the sale and to prevent Apple from using the iPad trademark. It was also seeking damages.

However, a California court dismissed the case on 4 May. According to the Wall Street Journal, the decision had not been disclosed till now.
Proview has also sued Apple over the same issue in a court in China's Guangdong province. Officials from the Chinese court are trying to
bring the two sides together to settle the issue by out-of-court talks.
