Jordan Was Sued By Nike For &Nbsp, And Was Questioned In The Meeting.

In a doubt about alleged trademark infringement, Jinjiang, Fujian

However, in the view of Jordan sporting goods secretaries, this "Jordan" and "Jordan" are far apart. Their trademarks are legally registered Chinese well-known trademarks and international sports brand magnates.

The Ding family held more than 8 shares.

Jordan sports, formerly known as the two commodity factory in Jinjiang, Fujian, belongs to the collective owned enterprise. It was established by Ding Lao, Ding Guoxiong and his son, and was invested in the village committee by 136 thousand yuan. It was founded in 1984.

At present, it is mainly engaged in the design, production and sale of sports shoes, sportswear and sports accessories.

The company's prospectus shows that after Jordan sports changes and share reform, the top six shareholders are Fujian 100 group (Ding Guoxiong, Ding Yezhi husband and wife 100% Holdings) 64.73%, Ding Jiafang 16.18%, Ding Canhui 8.09%, Ni Zhennian 6%, Xie Changzhi 3%, Xie Changzhi 2%.

Among them, Ding Jiafang is Ding's brother and Ding Shijie is Ding Guoxiong's nephew, so the Ding family's shareholding ratio is 82.91%.

According to the prospectus, at present, Jordan sports has 5374 brand stores, plans to start A shares, 112 million 500 thousand shares, plans to invest in the construction of R & D, channel construction four major projects, the total investment is expected to be 1 billion 200 million yuan, of which 1 billion yuan will be raised with fund-raising funds.

Nike sued Jordan for sports

From the beginning of the disclosure of the upcoming meeting, Jordan sports was surrounded by a suspected trademark infringement.

The main voice of doubt is that what is the relationship between Jordan sports and Nike's airjordan brand? Will it always face the risk of Nike trademark infringement?

The main character of Jordan sports is the Chinese character "Jordan" or the word "Qiaodan" Pinyin, while the Nike company registered in China is the pliteration "MICHAELJOR-DAN" of the basketball superstar Michael Jordan, but the main graphic trademarks are all the figure of the dribbling layup of the players, both of which seem quite similar.

It is reported that Nike has trademark infringement.

This Jordan is not Jordan.

However, the market

Jordan sports said in the prospectus, "Jordan" as an ordinary foreigner's surname is not specific. Since the establishment of Jordan sports in June 28, 2000, MichaelJordan has never issued any rights or opinions to issuers on matters relating to the issue of registered trademarks of issuers and Jordan.

According to Jordan sports secretaries, Jordan sports is not related to Nike's registered Jordan. The two graphic trademarks are far from being true. Jordan sports was registered in China in 1998 and has been the well-known trademark of the State Trademark Office.

Moreover, the product line of the two sides is also different. Nike's Jordan only makes shoes, Jordan sports makes ball clothing, and also makes accessories.

In the prospectus, Jordan sports has repeatedly stated that Jordan sports originated in Jinjiang, Fujian, is a genuine local brand, has nothing to do with Superstar Jordan, nor does it exist.

In this regard, a broker in Xiamen pointed out that from the perspective of listing, Jordan sports did not violate the regulations. The trade names and trademarks were approved by the relevant departments, and the company's profitability was very strong. The net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company in 2010 alone reached 5 hundred million, so it should be reasonable.
