Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
company using my music without sync license. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 8 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.
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.
I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the Lanham Act years for this type of claim.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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

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