That is in fact what we're trying to define how to do.  An author of a 
document wanted to insert such a notice in an RFC.  3667 Section 3.6
says that trademark data should be submitted the same was as other IPR 
claims.  But we also have a policy against putting any IPR claims in 
RFCs; thus, the notice you suggest is against the rules.

Should it be?  That's what we're here to decide.  People want to assert 
certain trademark rights; we need to define how that should be done.
