I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
3D printing patented designs. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 32 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
Been there. Here's what I learned.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
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.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, 17 U.S.C. § 106. Your state may provide additional protections.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
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.

What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.
