迈克尔·乔丹就侵权案宣判发表声明：尊重中国的法律

12月8日，最高人民法院对乔丹体育公司注册商标，涉嫌侵犯美国篮球明星迈克尔·乔丹姓名权系列案件公开宣判。

最高法判定中文“乔丹”商标的注册损害了迈克尔·乔丹享有的在先姓名权，认定乔丹公司的“乔丹”商标应予撤销，并判令国家工商行政管理总局商标评审委员会重新作出裁定。

迈克尔·乔丹在宣判结束后发表了声明，声明如下：

我很欣慰地看到，在乔丹体育商标争议案的判决中，最高人民法院认可了我保护自己名字的权利。中国的消费者有权知道乔丹体育及其产品和我并没有任何关联。没有什么比保护自己的名字更加重要的了，今天的判决彰显了这一原则的重要性。

在过去的30多年时间里，我将自己的名字和声誉打造成了国际知名的品牌。从我在NBA球场上打球的早期，到去年秋天再次访华，数百万中国的球迷和消费者一直亲切地叫我“乔丹”。今天的判决将让每个人都知道乔丹体育及其产品和我并没有任何关联。

我尊重中国的法律，也期待着上海的法院对尚在审理中的姓名权侵权案件做出判决。 ——迈克尔·乔丹

Statement From Michael Jordan on SPC’s court ruling on Dec. 8, 2016

“I am happy that the Supreme People’s Court has recognized the right to protect my name through its ruling in the trademark cases. Chinese consumers deserve to know that Qiaodan Sports and its products have no connection to me. Nothing is more important than protecting your own name, and today's decision shows the importance of that principle.

Over the past three decades, I have built my reputation and name into a globally recognized brand. From my earliest playing days in the NBA, through my trip to China last fall, millions of Chinese fans and consumers have always known me by my Chinese name, “Qiaodan.” Today’s decision ensures that my Chinese fans and all Chinese consumers know that Qiaodan Sports and its products have no connection to me.

I respect the Chinese legal system and look forward to the Shanghai Court’s ruling on the separate naming rights case.” –Michael Jordan
