End of the road? The dispute between the two firms over the rights to "iPad" name was not limited to China.
Proview claimed Apple set up a special company in Roydon, Essex to acquire the rights to iPad name Proview had also lodged a case against Apple in the US.
It had accused Apple of deceiving it into selling the rights to the name 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".
However, that case was dismissed by the court earlier this year.
Analysts said that with the two firms agreeing to a settlement in China, it was unlikely that Proview would take any further action against Apple.
