  The real context is that Deno recently filed a petition to cancel the trademark: https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92086835 https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92086835

    Yes, and Ryan Dahl (creator of Node and Deno), posted Dear Oracle, Please Release the JavaScript Trademark on his website to market that petition.

      The term “petition” is being used here in a technical legal sense. Colloquially we’d probably just call it a “lawsuit” challenging the JacvsScript trademark.
