Indeed, but if the money that the corporation is running on is the crowd sourced funding then he only has a fixed budget, especially if he's going ahead with production. It may be that he's holding out as long as possible before engaging someone or otherwise simply can't afford anyone at this stage (hence the pro bono suggestion).
What I find interesting is that he's clearly reading this thread and many of the others online (judging by the fact that he's commented on nearly every one he has access to such as Trekmovie and even your blog) so he would have seen many of the opinions of those fans with either legal or IP experience. Granted a lot of that comes from people who don't practice in California, such as Jenspah/Janet who hasn't practiced in 25 years in NY and myself who is British and practices in England and Wales, but the fact is that there are nonetheless certain hallmarks that come with litigation practice that are universal, and you'd think at the very least the man would look at what's being said and think to himself "I'd better be sure I'm right before pushing ahead". His conduct suggests to me this hasn't occurred. If anything he takes the whole thing personally because he acts as if dissenters have a personal beef with him and are pro-JJTrek (I, myself, am neither and am just one example of how that would be a false accusation).
I think the man needs to get his head out of his arse, put his hubris and bravado aside, and start thinking sensibly about this litigation. At the very least this action presents the possibility of his enterprise (no pun intended) going down the toilet. That in of itself should be a reason for caution.
