US EditionTrump family business files for trademark rights on any airports using the president's name
The Trump Organization filed to trademark President Trump's name for airports and related merchandise amid a Florida bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport, aiming to prevent misuse.
- This past week, DTTM Operations filed trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office seeking exclusive rights to use President Donald J. Trump's name on airports and related items.
- The Trump Organization said the filings were triggered by a Florida bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport amid disputes over naming the New York–New Jersey tunnel project and Dulles International Airport.
- The applications list a wide range of airport-related goods, covering three name variants including President Donald J. Trump International Airport and DJT, plus buses, umbrellas, travel bags, and flight suits.
- Questions about future royalties persist as the Trump Organization said it did not seek profit and the President stated his business is held in trust by his sons.
- Amid a broader branding spree, observers called the move unprecedented as a sitting U.S. president's private company filed trademarks, with DTTM Operations marketing electric guitars, bibles, and sneakers internationally.
