How could it have permitted the name of an iconic hotel at Yosemite National Park, the Ahwahnee, to be trademarked, so that now it needs to be changed to suit a concessionaire’s fortunes? Starting March 1, unless wisdom intervenes, the Ahwahnee will become “The Majestic Yosemite Hotel.” Come on!
This situation illustrates as clearly as we’ve seen lately the tensions between public relations and marketing, with marketing on the short end, again.
