rules are rules if apple wants to use a name that is already trademarked they pay for it. Its not proviews fault apple is too lazy to find out if a name is already in use or not.

Well um...good luck seeking free money. Oh wait you can't, you never registered that name.

*goes away to try and register "UMAD" (unintuitive money-hogging application developer)*

Aww shoot. Apple already took that.

Don't be so rude, btarunr, and don't be so sure. The rule of game is invented by our forefathers (of human race), who want to create level and fair ground for every human being on earth.

I was the executive director of Proview -- the name that you might not want to hear now. Proview sold many tens of millions of monitors and TVs globally in the past decade under various names and OEM brand names -- the one that you use in might be made by Proview!

Be happy, Go lucky!

Oh, I didn't know you worked for Proview. I thought you were yet another "claimant". Nice to see you post here.

And no, Proview is not unheard of here. I have come across Proview CRT monitors in the past. Just that they looked like clones of Compaq monitors (unless Proview was an upstream supplier for HP-Compaq).
