Sorry, but appearance is imho not so much the issue here, but rather trademark 
rights of Apache. 
Yes, that is formal, but how else should this be handled?

It does not have to be in the headline. Put identification in continuous text, 
for example in:

"IBM® Support for Apache OpenOffice™ offers expert technical support for Apache 
OpenOffice™, ..."

where IBM is already marked with ®.
