I think the trademark issue is weak in this case anyway. WP Engine has been around for 14 years with that name, and has been part of the Wordpress community.

But absolutely nothing about a trademark dispute excuses the lies, unethical behavior, and just downright personal animus Mullenweg is pouring into this takedown.

Speaking of potential trademark issues, it looks like "Secure Custom Fields" retains some ACF branding:

Ironically, Automattic is actively taking legal action against a premium plugin reseller for trademark infringement on modified WooCommerce plugins: https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fqw2eh/automatt...
