Qiaodan, a sportswear and shoe manufacturer, has to pay Michael Jordan over $46,000 for using the Jordan name, emotional damage, and legal damage.
Qiaodan, which means Jordan in Chinese, has over 200 trademarks filed, all related to Jordan.

So, the court is unable to order them to stop using the name completely.
According to CBS Sports, Jordan has filed 80 lawsuits against the company.
