I have used Javascript for over 20 years, but I was unaware that Oracle owned the trademark to Javascript. If anything, I would have guessed that Mozilla owned it.

Oracle inherited the trademark after they bought Sun Microsystems (I didn't even know Sun had trademarked Javascript!).

I came across a Reddit post where Apple took down an App because the AppStore displayed the word JAVASCRIPT without authorization from Oracle.

I wonder if they will continue to enforce it in the future given that it is such a ubiquitous term. Many have suggested that we should refer to it as ES going forward and call it a day. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Did you know about this? What are your thoughts?
