A court in Yiwu city recently ruled that a local company must pay 50,000 yuan ($8,005) compensation for trying to export 50 footballs without authorization carrying Adidas trademarks and the same design as Brazuca, the official ball of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Customs found the balls along with a shipment of cargo for the United Arab Emirates late last year. Adidas filed a lawsuit against the company in February.
