Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone on January 27, 2010

Can you imagine the iPad by another name? With the brand new iPad 3 at the door, maybe a lot of Apple fans and owners of the famous apple tablets not know how and by what stratagem was the Cupertino company branded iPad .

For in 2002, when the iPhone was probably a dream in the mind of the late Steve Jobs, a Chinese company, Proview Technology , registered the trademark “iPad”. At that time, the leaders of this company could not pasárseles China by the head of the trademark registered for commercial use would become the name of the devices tablets of a U.S. company computers.

Graham Robinson, “spy” working for Apple

who we should thank the iPad iPhone is call Graham Robinson , a British expert on intellectual property . Maybe if a spy story as it were, Graham Robinson, about to leave the first iPad, was charged with the task of appropriating the trademark iPad acting as a special agent with carte blanche, by an operation in which Framed Proview Technology to get to sell Apple iPad name, just in time for submission of a device that would otherwise have been called if Graham Robinson had not fulfilled its objectives.

Key probably was: Proview Technology is not sold directly to Apple iPad name. Robinson, who acted, as we say, with genuine hand in China, devised a sophisticated ploy: used a false name, that of Jonathan Hargreaves, and a fake company they supposedly represented, called “IP Application Development Limited” . The initials of this company invented are, indeed, iPad, and thus harshly with Graham Robinson Proview Technology negotiated the purchase of the trademark, since responded to the letters of his supposed company. During the meetings, Robinson did not disclose at any time the activities devoted to the company, citing that he could not stay up because they were not public domain.


The sale of the brand iPad

These negotiations were conducted in addition to a few weeks of the submission of the iPad, so its activity in the eastern country was real trial. Finally, Proview probably imagined that “IP Application Development Limited” was a major international company (because of the concealment of their activities), and hence accede to the sale of the brand iPad December 23, 2009, after the payment of Jonathan Hargreaves (a Graham Robinson who acted like a real spy in the service of Apple), by the ridiculous sum of $ 55,000. Here we see the document where the Republic of China authorizes the sale of the trade:
