DinoLand also alleged that Oracle committed fraud during the trademark renewal process in 2019. Although Oracle submitted screen captures of the Node.js website, a JavaScript runtime environment, Node.js had nothing to do with Oracle. Dinoland pointed out that this action was a fraudulent attempt to renew the trademark.
Oracle had not responded to a request for comment on the JavaScript trademark dispute as of Jan. 10. Ryan Dahl, co-founder of DinoLand and creator of Deno and the Node.js runtime, said he expects to submit a formal response before February 3 if Oracle does not extend the deadline again. “After that, we will enter the evidence collection phase where the full legal process begins,” Dahl said. It will be interesting to see how Oracle will refute Dinoland’s claims. “Genericide, fraud against the USPTO, and trademark neglect are the main issues,” he said.
The legal proceedings will begin discovery on March 5 and will run until September 1. Afterwards, the pre-trial disclosure stage will continue from October 16 to December 15. Optionally, a request for an oral hearing may be submitted until July 8, 2026. The dispute between Oracle and Dinoland is likely to continue for a considerable period of time.
