Apple pays $60M to settle iPad dispute in China

And just like that, it was over (with a little help from a $60 million payment).
A Chinese court announced Monday that Apple has paid that amount to settle a protracted legal battle with Shenzhen Proview Technology over who owns the iPad name, ending a lawsuit that threatened to block the sale of the popular tablets in the huge Chinese market.
"The iPad dispute resolution is ended," the Guangdong High People's Court said in a statement. "Apple Inc. has transferred $60 million to the account of the Guangdong High Court as requested in the mediation letter." 
The lawsuit had hampered some sales and delayed the launch of the new iPad in China. Prior to the launch, Proview requested Chinese authorities in scores of Chinese cities to order re-sellers to take all iPads off their shelves.
