Dow Jones granted temporary restraining order against ISE

The New York-based International Securities Exchange (ISE) has been temporarily barred from listing and trading options on DIAMONDS, a unit investment trust referencing securities from the Dow Jones Industrial Average index.

Dow Jones Indexes, which licenses the index, was granted an extension of a temporary restraining order last week. In addition to the aspect pertaining to the ISE, the order bars the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) from clearing these options unless it obtains a license. Dow Jones Indexes currently has an exclusive licensing relationship with the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

“Dow Jones Indexes will defend its intellectual property rights vigorously," said Michael Petronella, president
