No, thankfully Apache Source License v 2.0 ditched them for the more
sane (and more to the point) §6:
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE
file.[1]
Which is probably what the license should have said in the beginning.
[We probably should really review Apache Source License v 2.0
sometime... §3 (patent reciprocity) and §4d (acknowledgements in the
NOTICE file) are two clauses that are near the border, and while I
think they're free, I'm interested in others opinions of them.[2]]

2: I know we discussed §3 when it was proposed, but it's
interesting... §4d may also be important to discuss, especially in the
context of droit d' auter and in the context of free documentation
licenses.
