A new sign of the times in Park City™?

A trademark symbol is seen next to the “PC” in Park City on Tuesday. 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 name "Park City." But local government leaders, residents and business owners aren't happy about the company's plan. "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 told the Deseret News last week. City leaders wouldn't oppose the trademark, he said, if the resort would sign an agreement saying it will not take action against the city and local businesses that use "Park City" in their branding. Thomas will meet with Robert Katz, the CEO of Vail Resorts, on Wednesday to continue discussions.
