WordPress's trademark policy[0] explicitly said:

> The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks and you are free to use it in any way you see fit.

and

> Similarly, a business related to WordPress themes can describe itself as “XYZ Themes, the world’s best WordPress themes,” but cannot call itself “The WordPress Theme Portal.”
