Qiaodan Sports Co Ltd, which was sued by the former US basketball player Michael Jordan for unauthorized use of his name in 2012, has filed a countersuit against the star, claiming his lawsuit misled customers and the public.
Jordan's suit stopped the company from getting listed, and the company is asking him to restore its reputation, Qiaodan Sports said in a statement sent to China Daily.
The Chinese sportswear manufacturer, based in Fujian province, has also requested $8 million in compensation. The claim was filed with Quanzhou Intermediate People's Court on April 2, the company said.
