As a member of The Trek Prop Zone I would like to state that a member defrauded myself and other members. This is not the fault of The Trek Prop Zone but member vendors who renege on their promises. Unfortunately, this can happen with people making props on their own time.
The Trek Prop Zone cannot be held responsible for members who offer Star Trek prop replicas. The Trek Prop Zone does not need a license to offer Star Trek props. The designs are not under any patent.
