This is just a guess, but I doubt the 'Core' trademark is anything more than a photoshopped sticker to illustrate the location of which the products core will be identified, as seen in the stickers on the lower half of the image.

Though it would be pretty ignorant if they were to trademark 'Core'...

I see your point, but I think it would only be an issue if Intel tried to make it a registered trademark, which the people that handle trademark registrations wouldn't grant if they had any sense.

Quote from THG (end of second paragraph, talking about the Intel presentation they were reporting on). My emphasis:

The primary purpose of this show obviously was to convince around 80 analysts and journalists of the substantial health of Intel's 65 nm fabrication leadership, which is outputting new processors in high volume for launching new Pentium 4 6x1, Pentium D 900 and Core branded (known as Yonah) processors in early 2006.

And on the next page:
You might be well aware of Yonah now: It is Intel's next generation mobile processor. However, the firm won't call it Pentium M any more and instead selected the rather simple name "Core" to brand it. There will be a suffix Solo or Duo to mark single or dual core versions.
