I guess it is true that if they file for nonprofit status sometime during this year, they can say they were a 'nonprofit in formation'. But I think there are criteria to demonstrate in order to make this case, such as acting as a public good and not having investors. If they go ahead with this investment scheme they might find the IRS is not a fan of granting them retroactive nonprofit status. The legit nonprofit, I would think, could only be traced back to the moment when Axanar Productions dropped its profit-making ambitions and adopted the nonprofit governance and other expectations of such organizations.
Discovery could yield books to C/P. If C/P then puts the books or some part of them into a filing as evidence, the books might become public. I am not sure if pre-trial motion/countermotion filings are all public, or if it only happens in the cases of summary judgment filing and/or trial. Same with internal emails. I imagine the defense could challenge the scope of what is filed, but something might come out.
perhaps scope it a bit according to its real-world importance: desTeapotic loon.

To be honest, I've been unimpressed with Gerrold since he defended the rape joke he made a few years ago, then selectively deleted comments from anyone commenting about it against him, and then launched a whole new comment/discussion/tirade defending his "sense of humor."
A few months ago, he posted an entirely contradictory comment about how rape jokes weren't funny.
Apart from being someone who has destroyed any chance of working for CBS, Paramount or Star Trek again in any professional capacity, the man is a shameless hypocrite, glomming on to whatever chance comes along to be relevant again.
The dust up with "Kitumba" and Gerrold's vindictive and passive-aggressive approach to the issue of Mignogna and Specht being credited properly was just icing on the cake that proved this guy wouldn't know or understand professional consideration if Alec Peters sold it on his Donor's Store.

If C/P were to be awarded the "assets" of AP (script, sets, costumes, etc.) I can imagine Les Moonves lighting a bigass bonfire in the Ares Non-Studio Studio parking lot.

It is common in patents to acquire a threatening patent and then do nothing with it. I am not actually sure whether ownership of a creative work in violation of copyright is actually assigned to the copyright owner after a victory, though. It is derivative, it is stopped, but it would be interesting to know what happens to it after that.

So...no movie, then...
Only if its done Ken Burns style with sepia tone photographs and celebrity letter reading
"It's transformative!"
The newest news was that there's a group of investors interested in buying Ares Studios, but there's not much more than that.
See: http://1701news.com/node/1084/lawsuit-plagued-axanar-looking-private-investors.html
I'm sorry, but the majority of the fans really don't give a crap about fan films, or Axanar, the only this is all news worthy is because the Axanar people have pretty much done everything wrong in this situation. When all of this is resolved, CBS/P might lose a few "real fans", but everybody else is just going to go back to watching the new movies and TV show like none of this ever happened. In a couple years most people probably won't even remember the name Alec Peters or Axanar.
Over at Axanar's IMDb page all of the information has been deleted, actors, production crew, writers, all of it. The actors who were listed as tentatively appearing in Axanar now have no listing on their individual IMDb pages mentioning Axanar.

On Alec Peters IMDb page is a listing for a new Star Trek film project starring (you guessed it) Alec Peters; Star Trek: Decisions: Carpe Tempora (2016).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5361540/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1
Round two of IP violations? I imagine CBS/P is going to be taking a hard look at AP's new Star Trek vanity project.
Edit: This new Star Trek film looks like something Peters is participating in, not an Axanar project per se..

I misread that as Joey Wheeler, and was confused for a second.
That begs the question: which celebrities would read which users' posts? Might I suggest Morgan Freeman for muCephi and Michael Keaton for Karzak?
Brian Blessed for my posts
Actually, when rumors of the "Villain" and promos for "Star Trek: Into Darkness" came out - I was thinking perhaps it was going to be 'Captain Garth of Izar' (IMO - they did a good job with the reuse of 'Khan' - YMMV of course); but I was disappointed they didn't use 'Garth of Izar'.
