Hypothetical question

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

who owns code written with Copilot. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 31 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
