While I (IANAL) find the "market confusion" claim to be dubious, and the
claim of trademark infringement to be specious (there is no commerce
involved in WPORG-hosted Plugins, and as far as I know, Google has no
competing commercial WordPress Plugins), the use of acronyms is explicitly
prohibited in Google's Trademark usage policy:
