Oracle lays mines in JavaScript trademark battle

Oracle this week asked the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to partially dismiss a challenge to its JavaScript trademark.

The move has been criticized as an attempt to either stall or water down legal action against the database goliath over the programming language’s name.

Deno Land, the outfit behind the Deno JavaScript runtime, filed a petition with the USPTO back in November in an effort to make the trademarked term available to the JavaScript community.
