Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
competitor copying my API. I've been dealing with this for about 16 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 13 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
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.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
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.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
