That's the gist of a drawn-out court case Michael Jordan just won in China against a company accused of ripping off his name and logo.

"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," Jordan said in a statement released after Thursday's ruling.
The ruling reportedly bars Qiaodan from using its name with the two Chinese characters that translate to "Jordan" -- but not from using its name with the Roman alphabet spelling.
Still, American companies don't always fare so well in Chinese courts when seeking to protect their trademarks. Apple, for example, lost a ruling earlier this year in which it sought to bar a maker of handbags and leather goods from using the term "iPhone."
