The trademark was originally issued to Sun Microsystems on 6 May 1997, and was transferred to Oracle when they acquired Sun in 2009.

Sun played no, or no authoritative, role in developing javascript. I don't know how they got the trademark except perhaps no one owning it thought they could monetize the trademark.
