The way I read it, you are allowed to put a trademarked entry/word in a dictionary, but you need to say that a term is trademarked (basically put a ™ after it) if the owner requests it. It doesn't say anything about forcing it to be defined by the text of the trademark definition, or the trademark owner being able to pull it out of the dictionary.
