- HUAWEI owns the trademark to “Vision Pro” in China.
- The trademark is valid from November 28, 2021, until November 27, 2031.
- Apple will likely have to negotiate with HUAWEI or rename its headset if it wants to sell in China.
The Apple Vision Pro was just debuted during last week’s WWDC 2023 conference. While it certainly looks impressive — and pricey — the face-mounted device may have already hit its first unexpected snag.
It appears that there could be an issue with the Vision Pro’s name. As it turns out, the branding “Vision Pro” was previously secured by HUAWEI in China, according to the publication MyDrivers.
