Viacom, Activision Settle Litigation Over "Star Trek" Game License

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 14, 2005 - 3:25am.
Santa Monica, Calif. -- Video game publisher Activision has announced that it settled its litigation with Viacom Consumer Products over a license agreement to create video games based on Viacom's "Star Trek" property. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, other than to note that as a result, all outstanding litigation between the companies has been dropped. In its 2003 lawsuit, Santa Monica, Calif.-based Activision alleged that Viacom had allowed the Star Trek franchise to stagnate -- releasing only one film and one television series since it signed a licensing agreement in 1998 -- which negatively impacted Activision's ability to reap profits from related game sales. In a statement, both companies said they were "very pleased to resolve the matter amicably and look forward to working together in the future on other projects."
