Activision Inc. said Tuesday that it has terminated its "Star Trek" licensing agreement with Viacom Inc. and sued the conglomerate for allegedly neglecting the franchise to a degree that Activision can no longer develop video games from it. Santa Monica-based Activision is seeking unspecified damages for breach of contract, claiming that Viacom has failed to consistently develop new movies and television series from the 37-year-old franchise. Viacom has now decided to put the 'Star Trek' franchise 'on ice' ... and Viacom has no plans to make another 'Star Trek' movie, according to Activision's complaint, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
