Even if abdin wins they are not going to get what they want which is DSC cancelled and moved from canon.
But, it will validate their opinions, which is more important, if irrational.
The best this can lead to is a very slim chance to get to a Jury Trial or CBS making a minuscule deal offer.
And even if it gets to trial, unless they stack the jury with disgruntled Star Trek fans, I wouldn't wanna bet any of my money on Abdin winning.
If CBS was going go cut a deal they would have already.
Not necessarily. If they think they'll win, so they won't.
Right now CBS has argued and gotten the case dismissed by saying that what he claims as infringed isn't actually copyright protected. Should for some improbable reason the appellate court decide that they are protected after all, CBS can instead go with the improbability of the timeline of events. The whole "they stole my giant tardigrade" bullshit can be disproved by simply showing the production notes on when episodes 3 - 5 had wrapped up filming. Given that one hour dramas usually take up to 8 days to film (not sure if that counts the weekend), and an effects-heavy show like Discovery will need a bit longer in post than a "normal" show, I wouldn't be surprised if Discovery's Ripper was already being filmed when Abdin posted his game trailer.The best this can lead to is a very slim chance to get to a Jury Trial or CBS making a minuscule deal offer.

Yeah the judge didn't really address the timeline in the deicion (I'd assume because if they are not substantially similar it wasn't revelant) but as discussed in the other thread the timeline also does not work to Abdin's favor even if declared similar .
They also had a life sized cardboard standee for use on set.
I know. I want one of those.
Also, I just checked and Discovery filmed from January to October 2017. Since they'd hardly have filmed them out of order, even with a very generous allowance for supposed dalliance, 3 - 5 should have been done filming at the latest late February to mid-March. So long before Abdin published his trailer.
And when you add in storyboads and scripts and casting (since he claims characters were stolen too) you need to go back about another 6-9 months as well.
So yeah the timeline is a huge problem for him.
As I said in the original thread I think a lot of his thoughts about srtuff being stolen is stuff he had through of and planned to do that hadn't yet been released to the public. Hes seeing things nobody else can because he knows what his finished game is supposed to look like... problem is CBS never saw that or had a chance to since the game is still unreleased.

So how many losers do we have living off the fandom teat now?
That's just sad. Except for the part where he asks you for help if you're a "life couch". I'm looking for work at the moment, how can I become a life couch?Latest from Abdin
I don’t. He decided to give up on his game to chase a potential easy payday.
The appeal is like the sequel no one asked for. I hope he doesn't make it a trilogy after this.
