USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

My understanding is that’s how it is now with the NuTrek films. Not any films produced before the split.
Perhaps, but all the new TOS Film merchandise now goes through CBS for approval, which means they have the licensing rights all tied up.
As i said, Paramount only gets the royalties from new releases of the films, while it has to share everything else with CBS.

Yes, but that wasn’t what I said. I said that TMP through Nemesis is owned by Paramount.
 
Very likely. The Sales Materials PDF on that page is out of date but they count 12 movies and 6 series. What's missing is Discovery and Beyond. Everything else is counted as a CBS property and grouped together.
Good to know.

Paramount owns the TOS and TNG films. That’s why any show made by CBS cannot use stock footage from those films.
It's just the movie footage itself, right? Not the designs? Because there are CBS products out there that use designs created for the movies, without Paramount being credited.

Also according to CBS Consumer Products PDF that NeoStar mentioned, it says the movies are a CBS property.
 
The only thing Paramount "retained" after the break up...,
... was the "Exclusive Rights" To Make More Trek Movies and the ability to collect royalties from previous made TOS & TNG films. (as well as from the Kelvin Universe films)

Everything else dealing with the Trek Entertainment Universe, was negotiated contractually to CBS.
(thus why I said Paramount is pretty much a Trek Licensee to CBS at this point)

Eaves' art book has an unedited version of the Enterprise image that is used in the 2019 Ships of the Line Calendar.

The Calendar version was edited to fit the final design seen on TV (angled pylons, glowing grills on the nacelles)

That looks better than the final design, although I am a fan of the glowing inner grills on the nacelles in the completed version.

Not bad. The nacelles remind me more of the Phase Two Enterprise's than the TMP refit's, but it's still a pretty good design.
 
That looks pretty good to me, I do find that the round nacelles they went with in DSC feel out of place when every other ships are square, even the much older Shenzou.

I guess they didn't want to make it too different, 25% is fine but 26% is just not an option.

Would have been better if they had gone Fleetwide with one or the other rather than trying to please everyone and failing at both.

But CBS gave Paramount a license to produce Trek films after ENT was cancelled. It was no longer their problem. It was up to Paramount to build new sets, props, models, etc., which they did.
Before that though weren't they working on a movie set shortly after Enterprise that dealt with the Romulan War?

Set between the last two Enterprise episodes, and wrote out the ENT crew by saying they were at Risa during the Romulan attack on earth. It was seemingly designed to recycle as many (then) existing ENT assets as possible. It ended on a cliffhanger.

What we eventually got from JJ Abrams was much better.
