Does it use the exact names from star trek? Star trek doesnt own the scifi concept.
The parody of Star Wars wasn’t sued. And the Twilight author hasnt sued the writers of fanfiction who’ve gone on to publish their books.
Axanar uses the name of one character seen in a single episode of the original series.
If there have been a lot of non-licensed, commercial Start Trek books out there, then Paramount has a real problem with their copyright to "Star Trek" related content-- basically, the movies themselves are copyrighted but the franchise is not.
Looks like a straight up copyright infringement. Pity, because the preview takes people like me back to what made us love the original series. The “suits” at NBC never understood Star Trek and killed the original series as soon as they could. The fans forced it to be brought back and have remained loyal through a cascade of increasingly PC milquetoast and CG-effect-heavy prequels and sequels. This looked like it had promise and it would behoove Paramount and CBS to finance these people and stand back. They’d make a ton of money off the passion of the people at Axanar. But Hollywood suits, of whatever generation, have never been known for humility, common sense, and intelligence.
