"We will keep filing complaints to more market regulatory authorities in other provinces until we win the fight for our rights," Xie said.
More than 20 administrations for industry and commerce in nine provinces have begun investigations or are already taking measures against Apple.
Gao Wei, a law enforcement official in the Xinhua district of Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, told Hebei Youth Daily that his team conducted a raid on iPads made by Apple in authorized and unauthorized resale channels of his jurisdiction at the request of Proview Shenzhen.
The two days of raids resulted in the confiscation of 45 units of the iPad 2 and a fine that is up to no more than five times the value of illegally gained revenue.
Gao's counterpart in Beijing's Xicheng district is also considering levying a fine of up to 240 million yuan ($38 million) against Apple for trademark infringement.
The two district administrations declined to comment on Tuesday.
On the judicial side, the High People's Court in Guangdong will hear Apple's appeal for the exclusive ownership of the iPad trademark on Feb 29.
Meanwhile, a district court in Shanghai will open a trial on Feb 22 in which Proview Shenzhen will call on Apple to admit its infringement and apologize.
Lawyers not connected with the case said the dispute will likely be addressed through mediation out of court, and fines by business regulators should be reconsidered before a verdict is given.
