A trademark is not a patent.

No useful 'invention' is required for a trademark. The only 'protection' offered by a trademark is use of the name. The owner of the trademark can use it in any manner they choose ... sell cars, fix plumbing, publish indices, name their dog, etc., but nobody else.

If somebody wants to provide the same services as provided by a trademarked service, all they need do is invent a new name. There is no protection of the underlying 'method' unless it is patent. Are any of these 'devices' patented?

Nobody makes a company list on the NYSE. It costs money (lots) in fees each year paid to NYSE and the co. needs to pass 'the test'. If they don't like trading restrictions (the NYSE used to have such restrictions ... don't seem to anymore) then just don't list with NYSE. It's a contract, freely entered into on each side. Don't agree w. the contract? Don't sign it. Go elsewhere.
