Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

brand name too similar to competitor. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and teh situation isn't improving.

This involves software/code I developed over the past 14 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Not gonna lie, i work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle imo.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
