Who Owns Cursor AI Output? Commercial Use Rights

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

employer claiming my side project IP. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 9 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
