Overview

• San Francisco has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to stop Oakland from using the new name San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.
• The lawsuit claims the name change infringes on San Francisco International Airport’s trademark and causes confusion among travelers.
• Evidence presented includes incidents of passengers mistakenly traveling to SFO instead of OAK due to the name change.
• Oakland officials argue the rebranding clarifies the airport's location in the Bay Area and aims to boost passenger traffic.
• Previous attempts to negotiate alternative names with Oakland officials were unsuccessful, leading to the current legal action.
