    Complaint concerning allegedly deceptive official-naming advertising

    The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs complained that ISR advertising could mislead consumers into believing that the company sold official naming rights. The Illinois Attorney General later found that the company had done no wrongdoing. The episode highlighted the difference between ISR's private registry and the International Astronomical Union's authority over official astronomical names.
