LAKE WORTH BEACH, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Congressional Candidate Victoria Doyle has filed a civil complaint seeking to stop the county from moving forward with implementation of a naming and licensing agreement tied to the proposed renaming of Palm Beach International Airport.
The case, Victoria J.B. Doyle v. Palm Beach County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, was filed May 20, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida. The case number is 50-2026-CA-005674-XXXA-MB.
Doyle, who was raised in Manhattan and spent her legal career in intellectual property and federal trademark law, bought a Palm Beach County home in 2015 and moved permanently to Lake Worth Beach in 2021. Four years later, after leaving her law practice, she is running to represent Florida in Congress.
According to the complaint, plaintiff Victoria J.B. Doyle is a Palm Beach County resident and taxpayer who regularly uses public infrastructure and county-operated transportation facilities associated with Palm Beach International Airport. The complaint lists Doyle as a pro se plaintiff and does not list a defense law firm.
Palm Beach County is named as the defendant. The complaint identifies the county as a political subdivision of the State of Florida and the owner and operator of Palm Beach International Airport.
The filing seeks injunctive relief tied to Palm Beach County’s implementation of Chapter 2026-15, Laws of Florida, which the complaint says renamed Palm Beach International Airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
Doyle’s complaint also focuses on a May 5, 2026, naming rights and license agreement involving DTTM Operations, LLC, Donald J. Trump and Palm Beach County. According to the complaint, the agreement concerns the use of licensed marks for airport naming, branding, promotion and operations.
The complaint alleges that Palm Beach County is implementing the airport name change before the legal challenge over the statute is resolved. It says the county would use the licensed marks for official and unofficial airport purposes, including signage, wayfinding, advertising, promotion, media materials, merchandise, websites, apps, operational materials and governmental filings.
The filing says the act provides that the new name of the airport officially takes effect July 1, 2026. It also references a separate pending lawsuit, Perry v. DeSantis, Case No. 50-2026-CA-004070-XXXA-MB, which the complaint says challenges the constitutionality of the same act.
No final order has been issued in that co-pending case, according to Doyle’s complaint.
Doyle asks the court for a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo while the litigation continues. The complaint asks the court to prohibit Palm Beach County from implementing the trademark license agreement, schedule a hearing on the request, and order the county to maintain the current name, signage, identifiers and operational status of Palm Beach International Airport while the case is pending.
According to the complaint, Doyle claims there is a likelihood of irreparable harm if the county proceeds with implementation before the pending legal challenge is resolved. The complaint alleges that changing signs, operational materials, promotional branding and public-facing airport systems could make the dispute harder to unwind later.
The complaint also alleges that delaying implementation would not significantly harm Palm Beach County because the state-imposed name change had not yet taken effect. Doyle claims a pause would preserve the current public status of the airport until the court can decide the legal issues.
The allegations in the complaint are claims made by the plaintiff. They have not been proven in court.
The original complaint, Victoria J.B. Doyle v. Palm Beach County, Case No. 50-2026-CA-005674-XXXA-MB, as filed May 20, 2026, with the Palm Beach County Clerk of Court, can be viewed at the PBC Clerk of Court.
