I contacted someone from Universal about the proper use of the name and I was told creating assets of Jurassic Park etc and releasing them is illegal.
I was the project leader of one of the JP mods for crysis by the way. Now we probably all saw that one coming didn't we lol.
Edit: Here is what i was told in an email and pretty much over the phone as well:
"Using assets (storylines, logos, imagery, etc) from the Jurassic Park franchise would be a violation of Universal Studios rights (thus illegal - regardless if the venture is for profit or non-profit). The proper procedure would be for a 3rd party to approach us for a licensing agreement (which would include financial guarantees) to secure usage of a Universal Studios owned property."
