Oracle is holding the JavaScript trademark hostage, and we’re pursuing legal means to #FreeJavaScript. Here’s a brief update.

On November 22, 2024, Deno formally filed a petition with the USPTO to cancel Oracle’s trademark for “JavaScript.” This marks a pivotal step toward freeing “JavaScript” from legal entanglements and recognizing it as a shared public good.

Oracle has until January 4, 2025, to respond. If they fail to act, the case will go into default, and the trademark will likely be canceled.

    I think they’re saying it should have already happened, but better late than never
