Dear Oracle,You have long ago abandoned the JavaScript trademark, and it is causing widespread, unwarranted confusion and disruption. Oracle’s hold on the JavaScript trademark clearly fits the legal definition of trademark abandonment. It is therefore time to take active steps in order to bring the JavaScript trademark into the public domain, where it belongs. In 1996, Netscape announced a meeting of the ECMA International standards organization to standardize the JavaScript programming language. Sadly, without risking a legal trademark challenge against Oracle, there can be no “JavaScript Conference” nor a “JavaScript Specification.” The world’s most popular programming language cannot even have a conference in its name.
