USPTO petitioned to cancel Oracle's JavaScript trademark
Briefly

Dahl criticized Oracle's trademark ownership of 'JavaScript' as an outdated legal relic, stating it has caused confusion and unnecessary barriers for organizations using the name.
The USPTO petition argues that the term 'JavaScript' is generic and Oracle does not control any aspect of its specification or usage by others.
Dahl expressed that if the trademark is released, it could benefit conferences and events that would no longer need to fear legal repercussions for using the term 'JavaScript'.
Oracle's alleged fraudulent renewal efforts in 2019 are detailed in the petition, which claims that the use of Node.js website screenshots does not represent Oracle's affiliation.
