BEIJING, CHINA - Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has filed a lawsuit accusing Coca-Cola of using his image without permission. But he's only asking for a single yuan, which is about 12 cents -- less than the price of a single can. <br>
<br>
Yao filed the lawsuit Friday against Coke's Chinese subsidiary over an image on commemorative bottles sold in his hometown of Shanghai. Erik Zhang -- his agent -- says the court will decide this week whether to accept the case. <br>
<br>
Coca-Cola China spokeswoman Brenda Lee says the company hasn't received court papers, but it has asked to talk to Yao's representatives in hopes of settling the dispute. <br>
<br>
Coke says it has the right to show groups of at least three members of the Chinese national team under a sponsorship agreement.
