Trump Organization files trademarks for potential airport names

The Trump Organization filed trademark applications last week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for three potential airport names: "President Donald J. Trump International Airport," "Donald J. Trump International Airport" and "DJT," listed as a possible airport code.

The filings also sought rights to use the name on airport-themed merchandise, including luggage, animal carriers and "shoes for protection of airline passengers’ feet during airport security screening." The move comes as Florida Republicans advance legislation to rename Palm Beach International Airport — which Mr.

Trump frequents — as the "President Donald J. Trump International Airport." The Florida House approved the measure 81-30 this week and a similar bill has moved to the Senate floor; the legislation says the change would be subject to Federal Aviation Administration approval.
