A city attorney spokesperson said the office will “continue to protect San Francisco’s trademark from infringement”
Oakland is appealing an injunction issued last month by a federal judge in San Francisco that blocks it from invoking The City in its airport’s moniker.
The Oakland Board of Port Commissioners voted unanimously in May to rename Oakland International Airport, one month after port officials went public with their renaming plan. San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu filed a lawsuit over the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport title, arguing that it infringes on San Francisco International Airport’s registered trademark.
“Regrettably, for both San Francisco and Oakland, the Port of Oakland seems intent on spending even more public resources defending a name that confuses travelers and infringes on San Francisco’s trademark,” she said.

“This lawsuit is nothing more than an attempt to stifle competition and travel choices for the Bay Area,” Port of Oakland Attorney Mary Richardson said in a statement. “San Francisco is trying to relegate OAK and Oakland to second-class citizens.”
