Sure — Sugar Labs restricted the "freedom" of a Windows PC reseller in the UK to market "Sugar computers". We made the effort to register and defend our trademark in the interest of the project. I recall having alerted OLPC when I spotted a potential infringement of their xo trademark — a nearly identical design used by a European bank. Their counsel decided not to pursue it, as the registered Nice classes were different. This would have changed if the bank had marketed software.
