I think it's unfortunate that Paramount is going after the defendants, but I think this is a pretty tough case for the Axanar folks to make in most cases.

That stuff is brand names and trade dress, certainly within the realms of copyright. The question of the Klingon language is a more nuanced and interesting one to me, though. I doubt that there's a precedent for a corporation owning a spoken language.
