Those two names are clearly similar and very likely to cause confusion and thus makes for a clear infringement case,” San Francisco City Atty. David Chiu said.
From our perspective, Oakland is looking to profit off of San Francisco's investments of billions of dollars over decades in our reputation, services, and brand,” San Francisco City Atty. David Chiu said.
A lawsuit isn't ideal, Chiu said, but he noted the city has tried to negotiate alternative names with Oakland to no avail.
Oakland International Airport officials said in a statement to The Times the renaming does not infringe on SFO's registered trademark.
