We do have some kind of trademark policy already for the KDE logo. It's not 
listed at the KDE e.V. page under policies (where I looked first). I found it 
at the "KDE Clipart" page:
https://kde.org/stuff/clipart.php

It reads
"The KDE logo can be used freely as long as it is not used to refer to 
projects other than KDE itself. There is no formal procedure to use it. 
Copying of the KDE Logo is subject to the LGPL copyright license. Trading and 
branding with the KDE Logo is subject to our trademark licence. For more 
details on their usage please see the KDE CIG Logo page."

(The "KDE CIG Logo" page which the above refers to only explains when to use 
which logo style.)

Wikimedia Commons cites the above text as trademark license:
