San Diego Comic-Con was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention.
In April 2008, David Glanzer, Comic-Con's director of marketing and public relations, commented on the organization's desire to remain in San Diego:We've been approached by other cities, [but] I don't think anybody wants to leave San Diego
 They then filed a motion in an Arizona Federal Court to strike down San Diego Comic Convention's trademark In 2017, the Salt Lake Comic Con changed its name to FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention (or just FanX)
