Description

WARNING trademarked_term The plugin name includes a restricted term. Your chosen plugin name - "Do something for WooCommerce and Xyz" - contains the restricted term "woocommerce" which cannot be used within in your plugin name, unless your plugin name ends with "for woocommerce". The term must still not appear anywhere else in your name.

The "for trademark" should be allowed anywhere in the plugin name, not only at the end of the plugin name

Research direction

Start by locating the trademark validation implementation and its tests in the plugin-check repository. Reproduce the warning for a name containing "for woocommerce" away from the end, then update the behavior so the allowed phrase works anywhere while the restricted term remains disallowed elsewhere.
