Actually, that is no new news, and not a "perhaps":
CBS has been founded using the name Viacom in 1970/71.
In 1994, Viacom aquired Paramount and Simon & Schuster.
In 2006 Viacom was split back into CBS and Viacom, while Simon &
Schuster stayed with CBS.
Filmrights on Star Trek belong to Paramount Pictures, while TV-rights
are owned by CBS.
This is confusing, indeed.
So if anyone has disclaimer on their website, it should not say
"trademarks of Paramount", but "trademarks of CBS". The bird of Prey
manual does, and the Monopoly too.
