Attempt to avoid misuse of Eclipse Foundation trademarks

This is not specifically a DTP question, but it does pertain to the project. I've been working on an EMF ODA driver and a couple of other people have expressed interest in helping out. I'd hope to donate the product of my/our work to the Eclipse Foundation but understand the IP donation process can be time-consuming. Though only a modest amount of code would be involved I suspect it would exceed the size of a typical patch donation, thus triggering the more rigorous IP approval process. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The question, then, is whether there are any trademarks involved if I name the project something like "EMF ODA Driver" and host it at another site. If any trademarks are involved is this an approved practice? If they are not involved is there any reason I shouldn't use such a name? Any other advice appreciated...
