Apple Inc. can use some documents filed previously by Proview International Holdings Ltd. in the Hong Kong courts, aiding the iPad maker’s efforts in a trademark dispute over the tablet computer’s name in China.

Apple’s application to use four documents filed by Proview in a case that started in 2010 was granted by Master A. Ho in a hearing today. Ho rejected another application by Apple to use documents submitted in the future by Proview, saying he couldn’t issue such a “blanket” order.
