What do you think the trademark claim against WPEngine is exactly?

New blog smell, most likely

@smpl @db0 yeah, which has 0 legs to stand on. Hence the question about nominative use ...

There does seem to be confusion among WPEngine customers from exhibit document. Whether they are in violation of the trademark or not is up to a judge to decide on. WPEngine have recently been doing a lot of changes on their website to clarify that they are not Wordpress. That does not automatically make them in violation, but it indicates that there were areas where they could have been more clear in their communication to customers.
