The legal battle between Michael Jordan and the infamous knockoff Chinese brand by the name of Qiaodan<\/strong> has reached its end.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2020, the Supreme People’s Court in China ruled in favor of Jordan, which ends an eight-year trademark dispute with the Chinese sportswear company\u00a0after it was accused of\u00a0misleading customers into believing that the brands were connected, according to the China Daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The saga comes to a close (for now).\u00a0Qiaodan was recently ordered to pay\u00a0Jordan\u00a0$46,000\u00a0for “emotional damages” along with an additional $7,600\u00a0for legal expenses, reported by\u00a0Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Qiaodan will continue to use the phonetic English spelling of Jordan’s name as the court legally cannot order the company to stop using his name entirely due to the\u00a0country\u2019s trademark laws.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, a silver lining remains in the court’s decision.<\/p>\n

The company was ordered to stop using the Chinese characters of \u201cQiaodan\u201d in its own corporate name and product trademarks. In addition to that, the company must issue a public apology in print and online clarifying that it has no connection to his Airness. The court also ruled that the company must take \u201creasonable measures\u201d to indicate and clarify that its older trademarks have no actual ties to the basketball legend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The legal battle between these two dates back to 2012 with Jordan filing 80 lawsuits. Keep it locked here at Snkrs Day as we expect the Jordan vs. Qiaodan battle to continue in court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
