Legal ping-pong in the WordPress world continues - Automattic now sends WP Engine a cease-and-desist letter alleging trademark infringement | TechCrunch
Briefly

Your unauthorized use of our Client's trademarks infringes on their rights and dilutes their famous and well-known marks. Negative reviews and comments regarding WP Engine and its offerings are imputed to our Client, thereby tarnishing our Client's brands, harming their reputation, and damaging the goodwill our Client has established in its marks.
Automattic alleged that WP Engine has built a business of over $400 million in revenue based on unauthorized use of its WordPress trademark, which Automattic claims it has the exclusive commercial rights for from the WordPress Foundation.
Your unauthorized use of our Client's intellectual property has enabled WP Engine to compete with our Client unfairly, and has led to unjust enrichment and undue profits.
