Oracle Owns "Javascript", so Apple is taking down my app!
Just received this email from Apple about my app(Html, CSS, javascript snippet editor). Looks like you can't use "Javascript" because Oracle owns it!
Does anyone have any idea how to fight it or just give up?
"As you are likely aware, Oracle owns US Trademark Registration No. 2416017 for JAVASCRIPT. The seller of this iTunes app prominently displays JAVASCRIPT without authorization from our client. The unauthorized display of our client's intellectual property is likely to cause consumers encountering this app to mistakenly believe that it emanates from, or is provided under a license from, Oracle. Use of our client's trademark in such a manner constitutes trademark infringement in violation of the Lanham Act. 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(A). In order to prevent further consumer confusion and infringement of our client's intellectual property rights, we request that you immediately disable access to this app. We look forward to your confirmation that you have complied with this request."
Hope you’ll get your answer.
Thank you!!!
