Oracle filed a motion to dismiss Deno’s petition to cancel its “JavaScript” trademark, avoiding the fact that JavaScript is an open standard with many independent implementations. Despite calls to release the trademark, Oracle remained silent. Deno’s formal petition challenges Oracle’s ownership based on genericness, abandonment, and fraud. Oracle’s defense is focused on a technicality, claiming that the fraudulent evidence is irrelevant because they also submitted another specimen. The core issue is whether Oracle, with no real connection to JavaScript, should own the trademark. Oracle’s legal maneuvering is delaying the process, but Deno is adamant and will continue to fight.
