To be honest I've never thought of it as a trademark thing. I know java is a trademark but can't think of other languages that are. I bet all the Microsoft dot net ones are.

Oracle should have lost the trademark due genericization. Everyone uses the term JavaScript.
I had no idea Oracle held the trademark on JavaScript. I still can't wrap my head around it.
That's the first argument they make in their petition.
I think they're saying it should have already happened, but better late than never
i hope that afterwards they petition to cancel oracles javascript
They just need to delay until the new administration is in place. Oracle's CEO built the database of new staffers for said administration.
It's ridiculous we've been over complicating matters for so long. It's far easier knowing legal arguments can be determined simply by who's more willing to jerk off the administration.
