Oracle's hold on the JavaScript trademark, acquired from Sun Microsystems in 2009, is being challenged by Ryan Dahl, the creator of Deno and Node.js. In a recent blog post, Dahl criticized Oracle's dismissal motion regarding Deno's trademark cancellation petition. He argued that JavaScript is not Oracle's product and called for the company to relinquish the trademark since it has failed to properly uphold it. Dahl contends that Oracle's attempts signal a denial of accountability over an open standard that should not be monopolized by any single entity.
Dahl criticized Oracle's attempt to maintain the JavaScript trademark, stating it represents a stall tactic rather than addressing the trademark's legitimacy.
Dahl emphasized that JavaScript is an open standard with multiple implementations and Oracle's claim contradicts this reality.
He argued that since JavaScript was never an Oracle product and the company has neglected the trademark, it should not own it.
Dahl's statements underscore a broader issue in tech ownership, where companies claiming rights over standards face backlash from the community.
