Copied Verbatim from the Axanar Fan Group page on Facebook. New update from Alec on the case.

Good Monday morning Fans! Erin Ranahan, Andrew Jick and I just left the Los Angeles Federal Courthouse and I am happy to say our trial got moved up to January 31, 2017. So that is 3 1/2 months sooner than proposed by the parties.
That means, we could win this case and have Axanar back in production in March, 2017, Yes, we will finish Axanar!
And we should be hearing in a few weeks on Judge Klausner's decision on our motion to dismiss. And despite a certain conspiracy nut's claims, we expect to win at least part of that motion. (My money is on the judge dismissing at least the claim against the film Axanar, since we haven't even begun production and so you can't even judge a fair use defense).
Interestingly, the Judge only had two scheduling meetings on his docket and had cancelled the TEN or so hearings he had on his schedule. As Erin pointed out, this is SOP for Judge Klausner, and shoots down another conspiracy theory by the same conspiracy nut.
So stay tuned for more info! With Mike Bawden flying to L.A. for planning meetings Thursday, we should have some big announcements in the next couple weeks.

Judge Klausner knows what's good.
I love how he still thinks he's going to win. It's so cute.

I honestly am not sure what that means.

Which wouldn't be smart, since they might still lose and then all that money down the drain for nothing.

This might be the stuff Alec and others are striking down for being "conspiracy theories" and "rumors."
like the guy said: This is some Ferengi-level bull

So, you can't copyright Klingon apparently:

Aye, what they are saying is that Klingon is now a real life language, therefore according to them it follows that you can't copyright it (note the "apparently" in my original post ). Now whether, as you say, the court backs it up we won't know until... 2017?

It honestly doesn't matter if Klingon goes one way or another -- they have enough other IP that they can let Klingon go. When I was a wedding videographer I filmed a Klingon wedding in Klingon, so I saw it as a "real life language" with people using it in a real-life setting.
On the other hand, maybe I should start making costumes and gathering actors to make money off Trek if Axanar wins lololololol
