Park City trademark battle: Mayor says ski resort won't put its promises in writing; Deseret News, 7/8/16

Ashley Stilson, Deseret News; Park City trademark battle: Mayor says ski resort won't put its promises in writing:

"Vail Resorts, which owns Park City Mountain Resort, filed an application in May to trademark the Park City brand, meaning the resort would own the rights to the phrase "Park City."

But government leaders don't like the idea of a business owning their city's namesake. Their latest frustration came this week when the mayor says the ski resort refused to put in writing what it's been promising Park City residents.

"As a community that has existed since the mining days, we’re a little uncomfortable with the notion that someone just starts to use our name and trademarks it," Park City Mayor Jack Thomas said."
