By Blake Brittain A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Port of Oakland from using "San Francisco" in the Oakland airport's name, finding the name change would likely cause consumer confusion and harm the city of San Francisco.

A judge has temporarily ordered Oakland International Airport in California to stop using the name "San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport" as the cities' legal battle plays out.

The airport’s name, San Francisco Bay Oakland International, suggested that the “lower rated airport” was associated with San Francisco, a federal judge said in a temporary order.
