San Francisco International Airport is suing the recently renamed San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport, insisting the similar sounding names might confuse potential passengers.
Lawsuits are flying in a dispute between two California airports over the right to use the name "San Francisco" -- despite neither of them being in the city.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is suing the recently renamed San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (OAK), insisting the similar sounding names might confuse potential passengers.
Their lawsuit has been met with a counterclaim from The Port of Oakland asking a judge to rule its airport's new moniker -- which replaced "Metropolitan Oakland International Airport" -- is not a copyright infringement.
