NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump family company has filed to trademark the use of the president’s name on airports but says it doesn’t plan on charging a fee — at least for a proposed renaming of one near his Florida home. Applications filed by the Trump Organization with the federal trademark office are seeking exclusive rights to use the president’s name on airports and dozens of related things found there, from buses shuttling passengers to umbrellas and travel bags to flight suits.

The filings come amid debate in Florida over a state bill to name the Palm Beach airport after Trump and a dispute over funding of a tunnel between New York and New Jersey that is tied up with proposals that both it and Dulles International Airport in Virginia bear his name. The Trump Organization said that the applications were triggered by the Florida bill and that it didn’t seek any profit — only protection against “bad actors” given that the Trump name is the “most infringed trademark in the world.”

“To be clear, the President and his family will not receive any royalty, licensing fee, or financial consideration whatsoever from the proposed airport renaming,” the company said it in a statement, referring to what is now called the Palm Beach International Airport near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.

The company didn’t respond when asked if it would charge royalties for the use of the name at other airports in the future, or on merchandise listed for protection in the filings.

7. Wouldn't that discourage any entity that wanted to name something after him?

Why would a city or airport authority want to ante up big bucks (and you know it would be a hefty fee) for the "privilege" of naming their airport for someone? It's not like an airport gets more traffic or makes more money because of its name. When you fly to New York City you don't choose JFK over LGA because you like John Kennedy more than Fiorello La Guardia but because it's more convenient or because the airline where you have the most miles goes there. Renaming any airport after Himself won't bring it more passengers or more revenue.
