I'm not sure where your trademarks are, and whether they are part of
the text of the work. So I have no idea how to answer this.
My opinion about this section of the license, as far as this thread is
concerned, is limited to what is required of declarations for
licensing compliance. At least in this thread I'm not willing to
venture a strong opinion about what happens to your IP if you fail to
exercise appropriate cautions over your declaration. I could
speculate, but I don't think that's a useful contribution in the
context of this particular thread which is already complicated enough.
Should've been clearer: any trademarks only appear in the credits of
this hypothetical work. [I forget that some people trademark all sorts
of stuff that i (1) would never dream of trademarking and (2) question
the validity of trademarking. Some of it for good reason mind you--it's
just not the way i want the world to work.]
