JavaScript is a trademark owned by Oracle
Wikipedia says: "Today, 'JavaScript' is a trademark of Oracle Corporation. It is used under license for technology invented and implemented by Netscape Communications and current entities such as the Mozilla Foundation." [1]<p>It's one of a long list of Java-related trademarks originally registered by Sun:<p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100528154600/http://www.sun.com/suntrademarks/#J" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20100528154600/http://www.sun.co...</a><p>Maybe Sun originally intended it to be the name of a Java-related product, and when Netscape invented JavaScript, they found out too late that the name had already been trademarked by Sun, so they licensed the trademark from Sun instead of changing the name? I'm just guessing. Does anyone know the real history?<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Trademark" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Trademark</a>
