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

can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 23 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the Lanham Act. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct likely to cause confusion.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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.
