  1. The 'fake #China #facebook web site' that we mentioned yesterday is now gone. facebookzh . com is not longer there!
  2. What is facebookzh.com? It claims be the Chinese #Facebook, and using the same "facebook" #trademark. Who says #China respect IP law!
  3. Reading patent specification is such a dull job.
  4. Please help: Japan Patent 2011-289xxx means it was filed in 2011 and most likely not yet published?
  5. @joetmok Can appeal to revoke a trademark: Non-use for 3 yrs or the original mark is a famous mark in foreign country.
  6. #Trademark squatting in #China: Your mark registered by somebody else. bit.ly/HGiQQi
  7. We intend to drive "Anti #China #trademark squatting" campaign. Look at the 50+ marks and approach the rightful owner to sue the squatter.
  8. #trademark squatting is good business in #China. I just found out an individual owns more than 50 marks in class 25 and happy selling!
  9. ZTE Corporation of China was the top PCT applicant in 2011 and Huawei was the third. wipo.int/pressroom/en/a…
  10. Apple did not change name of new iPad to something else to avoid #China #trademark dispute.
  11. New York Times comments on iPad #trademaik dispute in #China re: IP system in China. nytimes.com/2012/02/15/tec…
  12. Trademark issue, not patent “@sagoodi2: Chinese Company #ProView claims IPad patent and prevents Apple introducing product in China”
  13. Rumor in #China: Apple lost #iPad #trademark, so iPad stop being sold. Apple site is happy selling. www.apple.com/cn
  14. Being a company formed by Chinese decent, we say sorry to #Syrian people related to UN resolution veto by #China government.
  15. @jathomasnc Thanks!
