It was always my understanding that while one could copyright a book's contents, one couldn't copyright its title. Would/does the same rules govern trademarking a title? I suspect not. But I also suspect that very few authors (or their literary executors....) would ever want to trademark a book's title anyway. (On the other hand, some pretty odd things have trademark protection.)
So the short answer is -- who knows?
