Donald J. Trump International Airport? The President’s Company Trademarked It. – The New York Times
Mr. Trump’s family business recently filed trademark applications for potential airport names, records show, an effort to preserve control over the use of his brand. The applications, filed last week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, staked a claim to three names: President Donald J. Trump International Airport, Donald J. Trump International Airport and “DJT,” the possible airport code.
The application also sought to use the name in connection with a variety of airport-themed merchandise, including luggage, animal carriers and “shoes for protection of airline passengers’ feet during airport security screening.”
The Trump Organization filed the application, a statement from the company said, “because the Trump name is the most infringed trademark in the world.”
