Yosemite Park's iconic attractions get new names

The changes took place at midnight Monday amid a bitter legal dispute between government officials and Delaware North, which operated many of the popular attractions from 1993 until Monday when competitor Aramark took over.

Delaware North spokesman Glen White said Park Service officials turned down the company's offer to let the park keep using the trademark names until the legal dispute was resolved.

Mark Bartholomew, a State University of New York Buffalo Law School professor who teaches trademark law, says Delaware North might want to preserve the value of the names that will lose value if no longer used.
