China's Huawei registered a trademark for the name "Vision Pro" four years before the unveiling of the Apple Vision Pro -- but it's not the first time Apple has had such naming issues. Now according to Gizmo China, the same thing is happening again with Apple Vision Pro. The publication has found an entry for "Vision Pro" in the China Trademark Network, filed by Huawei on May 16, 2019. Currently, Huawei has product lines including the smart headset Vision Glass, and a series of devices called Huawei Vision Smart Screen. Alternatively, it could simply not sell the device in that region -- and Apple has said it will initially only launch the Apple Vision Pro in the US.
