Jordan Sports Was Compensated By Actor Jordan For $8 Million.

Jordan (exclusive store) sports Limited by Share Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Jordan sports") filed a lawsuit against the intermediate people's Court of Quanzhou, Fujian, to prosecute the former US basketball player Michael Jordan (Michael) (P).

Jordan asked him to stop infringing on Jordan's right to sports reputation, clarify the facts, apologize, restore Jordan's sports reputation, and compensate for economic losses of $8 million.

< /p >

< p > relevant information shows that in November 25, 2011, the SFC issued the audit committee and approved the application of Jordan sports IPO, which will be listed before the end of March 2012 as planned.

< /p >

< p > February 23, 2012, Michael Jordan suddenly announced that it had filed a lawsuit against the Chinese court, accusing Jordan of abusing her name and image in an unauthorized situation, demanding that Jordan's sports cease to infringe upon his right to name and compensate him for the mental loss of 50 million 10 thousand yuan. In March 5, 2012, the second middle court of Shanghai accepted the case, but it has not yet heard the case.

< /p >

< p > Jordan's sports listing was suspended due to litigation.

< /p >

< p > Chinese Jordan < /p >.

< p > non Michael Jordan real name < /p >

< p > Jordan sports pointed out that the protection of the right of name in China's general principles of the civil law applies to foreigners and stateless persons in the Chinese field.

Michael Jordan is an American citizen and has never lived in China. It is not a foreigner in the Chinese field. Its invoking the general principles of civil law does not conform to the law in China and does not have the qualification of litigation subjects.

< /p >

< p > according to Chinese law, the object of the right of name to constitute legal protection must be the name decided or used by citizens.

Chinese "Jordan" is not the name of Michael Jordan. It is only the Chinese common plation of the English and American common surname "Jordan". It does not constitute the object of the right of name in Chinese law.

< /p >

< p > according to statistics, there are more than 4600 Chinese nationals in the household registration of the public security organs in China, and the names or names of foreigners are plated into "Jordan". So far more than one basketball player has been plated into "Jordan" by the Chinese media in NBA.

Jordan, as the usual Chinese plation of Jordan, is similar to English plation of "Tom" and "Amazon [micro-blog]" and does not belong exclusively to Michael Jordan.

Of course, Michael Jordan can apply for the registration of the Chinese "Jordan" brand name, but it does not exercise this right.

< /p >

< p > Michael Jordan < /p >

< p > or wrongly accuse "name right" < /p >.

< p > in fact, Michael Jordan has long term cooperative relationship with Nike.

Since 2002, Nike has made ten objections and disputes to the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board for the trademark "Qiaodan" and "Jordan" of Jordan sports since 2002, claiming that the right to name of Jordan has been infringed, but these claims have never been supported.

In 2012, after Michael Jordan filed a lawsuit against Jordan in Shanghai court, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and commerce still rejected the application of Nike's trademark cancellation two times in March and October. Once again, it clearly stated that "Jordan" is not the name of Michael Jordan. Jordan's sports registration uses the "Jordan" trademark and does not infringe Michael Jordan's right to name.

< /p >

< p > Jordan Ma Dongxiao, a lawyer for sports litigation agent and Guo Hao law firm, said: "if Michael Jordan considers that Jordan's sports registered trademark infringes on his name rights and damages his commercial interests, he can apply to the trademark review board to cancel the registered trademark. After that, he can file an administrative litigation for trademark confirmation in order to seek judicial relief. This approach can effectively protect the commercial interests of the person with the right of name, and the general principles of the civil law only uphold the personal interests of the right of name.

The lawsuit of Michael Jordan in Shanghai claims commercial interests derived from its name, but the legal basis for prosecution is the general principles of civil law protecting the right of name, which is a lawsuit that confuses legal relationship, and is an obvious improper lawsuit (that is, false accusation).

< /p >

< p > Jordan sports believes that for such a trademark dispute that has already been concluded and closed by administrative organs, Michael Jordan confuses legal relationship and becomes a violation of name right dispute to prosecute. It is a malicious litigation action of abusing the right of action.

< /p >

< p > Jordan sports prosecution < /p >

< p > is forced to < /p >.

"P > Jordan sports said that we respect Mr. Michael Jordan's contributions and achievements in the field of basketball. The prosecution of Michael Jordan is not the case."

Michael Jordan carried out a high-profile prosecution at the crucial time of Jordan sports listing, which damaged the reputation right of Jordan's sports by litigation, resulting in the obstruction of Jordan's sports IPO listing and affected the company's commercial development plan.

The prosecution was forced to be helpless.

< /p >

< p > > Jordan sports believes that if Michael Jordan thinks Jordan sports infringes on his right to name, he should first take the precautionary measures such as contacting with us to express his intention to solve the problem or send a lawyer's letter, and then initiate a lawsuit.

But Michael Jordan before the court has not yet accepted the contents of the media through the open litigation, specifically set up a website to publicize, accused Jordan sports deliberately and without scruple abuse their names and images, so that many people do not know the truth of Jordan sports misunderstanding, serious damage to the company's reputation.
