Deno, a company that provides a JavaScript runtime, has filed a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel Oracle’s trademark for JavaScript.
Deno claims that Oracle has abandoned the JavaScript trademark and it should be free for use by the developer community.
Oracle's lack of significant products or services under the name 'JavaScript' in years shows their inaction, meeting the legal threshold for abandonment.
If Oracle does not respond by January 4th, the trademark cancellation case will proceed by default.
