In the ongoing Deno vs Oracle JavaScript trademark case, Oracle claims "relevant consumers do not perceive JAVASCRIPT as a generic term" and that it is clearly associated with Oracle products. Do you agree?

I'm sure 5% have misread the question. (It's 95 to 5 at the moment)

I use JS every day. I've never heard any developer mention Oracle having anything to do with JS. The 5% who voted "Yes" read the question wrong or are Oracle bots.

I associate JAVASCRIPT with Ecma International, the non-profit standards organization from Switzerland. But sure, I am not a "relevant consumer". The definition of which might have changed recently, meaning "someone with brain worms", if I interpret this stupidity correctly.

Honestly, I don’t think most people associate JavaScript with Oracle at all. It feels way too generic at this point.

Free JavaScript, and use our `swing-ui` GUI module for desktop apps. Super easy and light weight.

Who would want to be associated with a programming language that 100% of developers hate? 🙄

Who actually said yes? Did they read the question / do they work for oracle? I’ve never heard anyone, in over ~15 years refer to JavaScript and oracle in the same statement outside that it’s dumb that they have the trademark or about that they have the trademark.

The less you regard as associated with Oracle the better! They claimed a number of products and technologies and none of those saw improvements ever since, imho. Worst case: incorporating MySQL, so that searches for either MySQL or Oracle SQL now get mixed up.

Developing in JS does not entail knowing all the Oracle's trademarks.

Someone should tell Oracle that Javascript is not a scripting smth for Java.
