i'm really curious to know what legal mechanism a city would use to take the city's name away from a private enterprise?

like, if i owned a plumbing supply company based in des plaines called "chicago plumbing supply", how could the city of chicago force me to change my company's name?

what legal rights do city's have over their own names? can cities own copyrights/trademarks on a name? how does that work in regard to a more generic name like "Columbus"?




anyway, there are plenty of NFL teams that play outside of the municipal limits of their namesake city, so the bears would be in solid company on that front.

New York Giants
New York Jets
Buffalo Bills
Washington Commanders
Miami Dolphins
Dallas Cowboys
Las Vegas Raiders
San Francisco 49ers
Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Chargers
