no, sears as a name could survive. it is the official name "sears holding corp" which appears on sec filings and is most likely how the stock is actually titled that i think will change.
certainly esl has obtained the trademark names such as kenmore, diehard, and just plain old "sears". calling something just sears is legally different that calling it sears holding corp.
