Amidst an ongoing copyright-infringement case between CBS, Paramount and the crowdfunded fan film "Star Trek: Axanar," the two media companies outlined several guidelines for any future Star Trek fan productions.
In an open letter to fans, CBS and Paramount wrote that they want to support and encourage fan creativity. The guidelines also state that the companies "will not object to, or take legal action against, Star Trek fan productions that are nonprofessional and amateur and meet the following guidelines."
Sounds like Justin Lin and J.J. Abrams didn't have enough clout to make the lawsuit "go away" after all...

"seek to register" is different than natural copyright of work. But i agree, they are setting things up for more suits.
