Popular landmarks in Yosemite will go back to their previous names after the National Park Service settled a lawsuit for approximately $12 million. (KQEDnews)
. In 2016, Yosemite changed the names of a number of landmarks following a lawsuit filed by Delaware North, which had served as the park's concessionaire since 1993 but lost the contract to the company Aramark. Delaware North then filed a lawsuit alleging it owned the trademarks to various historic names of beloved landmarks throughout Yosemite.
"We felt strongly about restoring the names," he said, noting the park always intended to return to the original names."People feel strongly about places like Curry Village, the Ahwahnee Hotel, places families have been coming for generations." The settlement requires Aramark to pay $8.16 million and the government to pay $3.84 million to Delaware North for the names, a number of logos and other branded content, Gediman said.
Under the terms of the agreement, Aramark will own the names and logos for the duration of its contract — through 2031 — at which point the names and logos will revert to the government. No one conceded fault or ownership, said Gediman, but rather they felt it was important to settle the lengthy lawsuit.The changes will be effective immediately.
