Oracle files notice of appearance for JavaScript trademark [pdf]

IP lawyers in the comments, what does this mean? It just says "NOTICE OF APPERANCE (sic) OF COUNSEL". Is it just a bureaucratic step where Oracle says "we're not ignoring this"?

Not a lawyer, but the main purpose of this document is to tell the judge who Oracle's lawyers are for this case.

Context: "Dear Oracle, Please Release the JavaScript Trademark" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32709870

The real context is that Deno recently filed a petition to cancel the trademark: https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=92086835

Basically saying "Hi, we're the lawyers for Oracle, and we've told the lawyers at Deno that we'll be in touch."

Yeah, good luck. That trademark was diluted some time ago.

Big generally good full service law firm (200+ partners) VS quite small but highly specialized law firm (3 partners). https://www.hollandhart.com/ncdavis for Oracle, https://www.gerbenlaw.com/about/eric-perrott for Deno.

Interesting indeed.
