San Francisco Seeks Court Halt to Oakland Airport's New Name

San Francisco City Attorney files for an injunction, citing traveler confusion and trademark infringement over Oakland's rebranding to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.

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.
