Yosemite’s Ex-Concessionaire Wants Disputed Appraisal Kept Secret

"WASHINGTON -- Yosemite National Park’s former concessionaire wants a federal judge to keep secret an appraisal that set a $44 million value on the company’s trademarks.

The report is at the heart of a high-profile dispute pitting the Delaware North subsidiary against the National Park Service, which calls the privately commissioned appraisal grossly exaggerated. The report by CONSOR Intellectual Asset Management was completed in 2010.

Citing the possibility of competitive harm, attorneys for DNC Parks and Resorts at Yosemite in new court filings are asking a U.S. Court of Federal Claims judge to keep the roughly 53-page report sealed under a protective order."
