can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 8 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Following this thread — This is eerily similar to what I'm dealing with. Keep us posted?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
For anyone dealing with trade secret theft: act fast. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get an injunction. Most courts want to see that you took immediate action to protect your confidential information.
This is really helpful information. Appreciate everyone's input.
