A U.S. District Court judge in St. Paul, Minn., has issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting one insurer from using a trademarked name claimed by another insurer.
The injunction will prevent Aetna Inc., Hartford, from applying the name "Advantus" to a new provider network management and rental unit.

Advantus Capital manages fixed income and real estate investment funds.
