T.J. CrowderHonest question: What benefit does holding the #JavaScript trademark provide Oracle?
I get that it's basically free to them to defend it (probably an hour or two from in-house counsel every couple of months until the petition is decided), but what I don't get is what they get out of it? Vs. the public relations win of releasing it? (Ideally a couple of years ago when Ryan Dahl first raised it, but we are where we are.)
Oracle justified its JavaScript trademark with Node.jsânow it wants that ignored
Oracle filed a motion to dismiss in response to Denoâs petition to cancel its âJavaScriptâ trademark. But instead of addressing the real issueâthat JavaScript is an open standard with multiple independent implementationsâOracle is trying to stall the process and sidestep accountability.
