Shanghai: The world's largest sportswear maker Nike Inc, has won lawsuits against two Chinese footwear manufacturers and the local operations of a French supermarket chain over alleged copying of its Air Jordan logo, China's Xinhua News Agency reported.

Shanghai No.2 Intermediate Court awarded Nike Inc., the yuan equivalent of $46,100 in damages from Jinjiang Longzhibu Shoe Co., Jinjiang Kangwei Shoe Co. and retailer Auchan, the official Xinhua News Agency and other reports said.

The case is the latest victory for foreign companies seeking protection from rampant copyrights thefts and intellectual property right infringements by local China manufacturers, despite China's against commercial piracy.

Nike said its employees found shoes made by the companies being sold for about 100 yuan or $13 at outlets operated by the Auchan chain in Shanghai and the nearby city of Ningbo.
