dbo:abstract
  • In 1993, Delaware North became the provider of visitor services at Yosemite National Park under contract with the National Park Service, via the subsidiary DNC Parks and Resorts at Yosemite, Inc. When the contract was acquired by Aramark in 2015, it was required to purchase the assets of the previous concessionaire—just as Delaware North was required to before. However, Delaware North claimed that the sale did not include its intellectual property, which included trademarks for various place names in the park, and valued them at $51 million. Delaware North sued the United States in the Court of Federal Claims in 2015. The NPS disputed the cost of these intangible assets, as well as Delaware North having registered the marks in the first place. Upon Aramark's transition to concessionaire in March 2016, the trademarked place names were replaced by alternative names. In July 2019, Delaware North reached a roughly $12 million settlement, under which the original place names would be restored, and Delaware North agreed to return the trademarks to the NPS upon the conclusion of Aramark's contract.
