Not sure if this has been mentioned, but a bit more background (as I remember it): when Mike Godwin was still around, there was some preliminary work on a MediaWiki extension called TradeTrack that would help Wikimedia and outsiders track trademark usage. I think it fell by the wayside when Mike left the Wikimedia Foundation and any work on it has mostly stopped. A bit more info here: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TradeTrack>.
