Trump Organization trademark filings raise questions about Palm Beach airport renaming profits

Florida lawmakers are pushing to rename Palm Beach International Airport after Donald Trump, but a recent Trump Organization trademark filing for names like “DONALD J. TRUMP INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT” has sparked concerns about whether the family could benefit from the branding. The sponsor says royalties or licensing fees would not be paid and branding would come at no cost, while trademark experts note it’s unusual for a president’s name to be trademarked and could broaden merch and other licensing opportunities tied to the airport as the bills move toward Gov. DeSantis.
