News CBS files trademark for new series STAR TREK: RELIANT

[Visitor1982]

Yeah, a lot of these registered trademarks could be for the same show. That they simply haven't decided for the final title yet, but keep their options open. "Lower Decks" could be set on the "Reliant". Both "Revolution", "Ceti Alpha" and "Reliant" could also be the Khan series. Maybe "Starfleet Academy" is the Picard show, with Picard being the old mentor guy? These registrations are interesting as to guess which directions they currently explore. But they are NO hard evidence for any show to actually make it on screen one day.

Also: Comicbooks, videogames, books, tie in material... all of that could bear these names.

Starfleet Academy is not the same as the Picard show. The Starfleet Academy show has different showrunners (they are now running Dynasty on the CW).

I still feel we are going to get a Pike-show as well...

No. This isn't allowed - otherwise you'd have movie studios trade marking every possible title under the sun, and charging each other huge amounts to use them. A Class 41 trade mark needs to be unique - you can't have two identical trade marks for the same product under two titles.

Yep!

'Star Trek' itself is trademarked, so any other entity beyond CBS trying to use 'Star Trek :InsertNameHere' could not legally get away with it. Trademarking these Star Trek; xxx names just adds another layer of protection for them.

It's still a rumour until officially confirmed.

Wouldn't it be great if they switched each season up like Archer's later seasons... First season could just be regular work-place comedy under Captain Terrell, then a season where they all have to dress up as Khan's supermen to stay on the crew, then followed by a season where they're working off passage to the nearest Federation Starbase on a Tellarite freighter that picked up their escape pod outside the Genesis system (completely unnoticed by the Enterprise).

"I'm sure the Enterprise is gonna swing by to pick us up any second now..."

*Enterprise leaves system*

The adventures of a "lower-deck" crew on an unimportant Federation ship?

Does anyone notice this plot sounds so similar to "The Orville"??

Does anyone notice this plot sounds so similar to "The Orville"??

No. The Orville focuses on a ship's senior staff. It's just not the flagship, but then neither were DS9 or Voyager or Disco.
