Template:Realworld The CBS Corporation is a major media conglomerate. They own CBS Studios which in turn owns the trademarks of Star Trek and all related marks.
The CBS Corporation was formerly known as Viacom. Following Viacom's split with CBS in 2005, Viacom dissolved and was re-established as the CBS Corporation. CBS acquired the rights to Viacom's Paramount Television, which was subsequently renamed CBS Paramount Network Television and to UPN which subsequently merged with The WB to become The CW. CBS Corporation also continues to own Simon and Schuster and Paramount Parks, which previously fell under Viacom.
Following the split, a new Viacom was founded. This company received the rights to Paramount Pictures, which includes production and distribution of the Star Trek films.
