Nick: I think the pertinent info on the trademarks page is this:

"The Apache Software Foundation considers the names of all top level
projects, all downloadable software products, our feather logo, and the
logos of our projects to be trademarks of the ASF. The ASF owns all Apache
trademarks on behalf of our volunteer project communities."

Only a few, not including Geode, are registered trademarks.

That said, I do think "Apache" should have a registered trademark symbol: ®
