近日，方达律师事务所代理美国篮球明星迈克尔·乔丹在最高人民法院再审判决中胜诉。

最高法认定，乔丹体育公司明知迈克尔·乔丹在我国具有长期、广泛知名度，仍然使用“乔丹”申请注册争议商标，损害了迈克尔·乔丹的在先姓名权，判决撤销一审、二审判决，同时撤销乔丹体育公司第25类服装鞋帽袜等商品上的6020578号“乔丹+图形”商标。

这是最高法近年来第三次对乔丹系列案件做出裁决：2016年，最高法裁决确认迈克尔·乔丹对“乔丹”汉字拥有权利，但对拼音QIAODAN无权利；2019年，最高法认定迈克尔·乔丹对于商标中的剪影不享有肖像权。

Fangda on Michael Jordan’s third verdict by China supreme court

Fangda Partners has represented former NBA basketball player Michael Jordan in a trademark infringement case against Fujian-based sportswear producer China Qiandan Sports.

This is the third verdict made by the Supreme People's Court concerning a series of cases about the infringement of Jordan’s name and portrait. The latest ruling overturns two previous verdicts in favour of the Chinese firm, and prohibits Qiaodan Sports from using the Chinese translation of Jordan's name as well as requires the logo be retried by the trademark office.

Fangda’s partners Tian Tian and Qi Fang represented Michael Jordan in the case.
