[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 6847666, member: 27897"] A little more on the Axanar front: CBS/Paramount have started to refine their suit, based on the motion by Axanar's lawyers for more than a vague handwave regarding "thousands" of IP that were being breached. So far they're putting their money on the appearance of the Vulcan race, the uniforms, and the Kingon language.

It was used as a plot point ("The Omega Glory"). I think that's the only one that the Axanar folks can really fight. I thought that the Klingon language was developed and the dictionary released personally by a linguist who worked with CBS, but apparently that have the copyright.
