“The city of San Francisco is suing the nearby city of Oakland over the latter’s plan to modify its airport name to include ‘San Francisco,’ arguing that the proposed name infringes on its trademark and would ’cause confusion and chaos.’ San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit on Thursday, a week after the Port of Oakland Board of Commissioners preliminarily approved a plan to rename Metropolitan Oakland International Airport to San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.
