Trademark infringement, maybe, but I doubt it.

Plagiarism definitely does not apply here. That would involve the words use en masse not just two words.

Plagiarism: an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author

Trademark Infringement: Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attached to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees. Infringement may occur when one party, the "infringer", uses a trademark which is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by another party, in relation to products or services which are identical or similar to the products or services which the registration covers. An owner of a trademark may commence civil legal proceedings against a party which infringes its registered trademark.

Based off that, I think it unlikely this would fall under that either, but it's closer than plagierism or copyright fraud. And obviously it's not in any way related to patents. Also, I may have missed it, but I didn't find Poison Ivy listed under trademarks: https://www.trademarkia.com/trademarks-search.aspx?tn=Poison%20Ivy

Sorry, this stuff is just really interesting to me and people have a tendency to confuse them, so I decided to see what came up and what this might fall under.
