Apparently. Go to:

   http://www.wipo.int/ipdl/en/search/madrid/search-struct.jsp

and enter "Zope" in the "Holder Name" field and click "Search".

You will see 5 results.  The first is for the Zope Corporation
registration of the name "Zope", registered in May 2004.

The next four results are for ZEA's registrations of the Zope
and Plone marks, with logos (2 each, for different sets of
countries) registered in July and September of 2004.
