On November14, 2012, the Television Broadcast Co., TVB (USA).

關於TVpad產品的法律聲明
2012年11月14日，電視廣播（美國）有限公司TVB（USA）（以下統稱“TVB”）委託其代表機構通過媒體在美國公開發表了一份聲明：任何銷售或使用TVpad產品的人都涉嫌違反美國版權法。而TVB的該項聲明是錯誤的、具有誤導性的。
TVpadTM 產品從本質上來說是一款能像電腦或智慧手機一樣進行操作的電視機頂盒，其本身不提供任何第三方應用和內容。TVpad銷售給終端用戶之後，終端用戶可根據其個人需求對TVpad進行操作，就像電腦用戶可以根據其個人需求將電腦用於各種目的一樣。例如，終端用戶可以根據其個人需求自由選擇安裝第三方應用開發商提供的各種應用（如遊戲）。因此，TVpad的銷售並未構成任何侵犯版權的行為。
TVB錯誤的聲明表明：TVB對TVpad產品的性質存在誤解且其對TVpad產品瞭解甚少；TVB完全漠視了受美國法律保護的有關TVpad產品的品牌和聲譽。相信TVB的該項聲明已誤導了公眾對TVpad產品性質的認識，並已對有關TVpad產品的商譽和聲譽造成了（並將持續造成）嚴重的損害，且已對TVpad產品的供應商造成了（並將持續造成）嚴重的損失。
啟創科技（香港）有限公司（“啟創科技”）在此正式對TVB的該項公開聲明作出以下回應：
1、啟創科技不認為TVpad產品的銷售構成任何侵犯版權的行為。
2、啟創科技始終尊重並將繼續尊重他人的知識產權，因此啟創科技對TVB的該項錯誤聲明表示強烈的反對。
3、啟創科技在此要求TVB於30日之內在美國主流媒體上向啟創科技公開致歉，以避免啟創科技因TVB的該項錯誤聲明而遭受進一步的損失。 4、啟創科技保留所有權利，包括就TVB的該項錯誤聲明造成的損失向其尋求賠償的權利。 2012年11月16日 |
