You are asserting things the GPL does not guarantee.
Rights to additional IP is one of them.

You do not need the Red Hat trademarks for the software to function.
So they can be legally bundled with GPL software.

This is not a Red Hat-only issue.
But it is one that Red Hat got into real trouble with for failing to enforce
their trademarks prior with Cobalt, Sun, etc...
