They bought Java (not javascript)

They bought Sun, which "owned" Java and JavaScript.

    Interesting, I didn't realize they got the javascript trademark when they got Sun. I wouldn't be surprised if a judge threw out the trademark as generic at this point, if they understood technology, but that's a big if. I knew naming rights were a big reason that people tried to roll the name back to ECMAScript, but that never really took off.
