Trademarks operate within a product category.
The USPTO lists 8 different categories where "Gutenberg" is currently used as a trademark and a further 13 "dead" categories where it was used historically.
If you wanted to use Gutenberg in a different category – e.g. The Gutenberg fruit smoothie maker – you'd probably have no difficulty trademarking the name.
