Deno v. Oracle: Canceling the JavaScript Trademark (deno.com)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

On November 22, 2024, Deno formally filed a petition with the USPTO to cancel Oracle’s trademark for “JavaScript.” This marks a pivotal step toward freeing “JavaScript” from legal entanglements and recognizing it as a shared public good.

Oracle has until January 4, 2025, to respond. If they fail to act, the case will go into default, and the trademark will likely be canceled.

To be honest I've never thought of it as a trademark thing. I know java is a trademark but can't think of other languages that are. I bet all the Microsoft dot net ones are.
