Hello.
I want to start selling themes for WordPress but I’m not sure if I can use phrases such as: “Minimal WordPress Theme”, “Boho WordPress Theme”, “WordPress Theme for bloggers”, because of WordPress Trademark. If I understood it correctly then I cant use phrases with “WordPress” and WordPress Logo but how then I can sell the theme for WordPress without naming my product using the word “WordPress”? Nobody will know for what CMS this theme is. On sites like Etsy, CreativeMarket is A LOT OF shops using phrases like I mentioned earlier.
Please give me any advice :)

Hey there, these forums are actually for the sites hosted here at WordPress.com:
https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

Trademark issues are handled by the WordPress Foundation. You can find the policy here:

Trademark Policy

And, if that doesn’t answer your questions fully, you can get in touch with the WordPress Foundation through the contact link on the side.

Hoping this helps!
