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

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.

They just need to delay until the new administration is in place. Oracle's CEO built the database of new staffers for said administration.

It's ridiculous we've been over complicating matters for so long. It's far easier knowing legal arguments can be determined simply by who's more willing to jerk off the administration.
