OK, I finally had a chance to look in PACER. In June the parties jointly requested ("motioned for", in lawyerspeak) an additional 45 days of discovery, which the court granted, and on August 30 they requested 148 days more, which was granted, so the close of discovery is now set for June 2019. I'll be surprised if they keep to that date.
The August 30 request mentioned that the parties had "recently engaged in settlement discussions", and that a settlement meeting was scheduled for September 5. As we haven't seen an announcement of settlement, I assume the talks are still ongoing.
Seems to me that the longer this process takes, the weaker DNC's case becomes, as what is clear to anyone with gray matter between his ears becomes demonstrable with numbers: Aramark's numbers for "Big Trees", "The Majestic Yosemite Hotel", "Half Dome Village" and the "Yosemite Falls Lodge" are going to be just as high as DNC's were under the names Wawona, Ahwahnee, Curry and Yosemite Lodge, proving that the names themselves aren't worth anything close to what DNC says they're worth. And that's without getting into the fact that the names weren't DNC's to register in the first place.
