ORACLE JUSTIFIED ITS JAVASCRIPT TRADEMARK WITH NODE.JS—NOW IT WANTS THAT IGNORED

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js, is petitioning to cancel Oracle's "JavaScript" trademark, arguing that it is a generic term and that Oracle's claim is based on fraudulent evidence (a Node.js screenshot). Oracle's response attempts to dismiss the fraud claim by citing another specimen, avoiding the core issue of trademark ownership over an open standard.
