Correct, in a way.

How did you get that idea?

Oracle Corp. *owns* the “JavaScript” trademark because they took over Sun 
Microsystems, Inc. which previously owned the “JavaScript” trademark because 
they previously already owned the “Java” trademark, and Sun owning the 
“JavaScript” trademark was one of the results of negotiations leading to a 
mutual agreement between Netscape Communications Corp. and Sun Microsystems, 
Inc. in December 1995 (CE).

Me neither.  But they do, and Oracle does not seem to mind; the same as Sun 
did not seem to mind when KDE e.V. (“KDE JavaScript (KJS)”, 2000), Apple 
Inc. (“JavaScriptCore”, based on KJS; 2003), the WebKit Open Source Project 
(ditto, 2005), Google Inc. (“V8 JavaScript”, 2008), and even Microsoft Corp. 
(“Internet Explorer JavaScript”, 2011) started using it¹.

¹ Opera has always been ambiguous; they have used both the “ECMAScript”
  and the “JavaScript” name to refer to their implementation, which is
  why I am using the term “Opera ECMAScript”.  They have adopted V8
  last year, so what applies to Google now also applies to them.
