French term or phrase: plumes pour ordinateurs
This term occurs in a list of goods for a trademark application. There is no further context, as this is the complete list for this class.

The term was originally translated from Chinese into French. Maybe someone who knows both Chinese and French can help, if this is a mis-translation.

stylo pour ordinateur/stylet/stylo numérique


Explanation:
I am guessing that they are referring to a pen used to write on computer/palm pilot screens? I have found the terms above used on many computer accessory web pages.
