Can someone explain youTube Content ID false claim?

EDIT: added more context below. I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

YouTube Content ID false claim. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves software/code I developed over the past 31 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Following this thread — Commenting so I can find this later. Very relevant to my situation.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I mean nAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Of course the details matter a lot here.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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

Trademark registration takes 8-12 months right now. If you need immediate protection, common law trademark rights exist from the date you first use the mark in commerce. Registration just gives you additional benefits.
