I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

software patent eligibility after Alice. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

Look, i've dealt with this before.

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've dealt with this before.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Every time I see a post like this...

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

Honestly? I'd get a consult. Changed my whole perspective when I did.

For anyone dealing with trade secret theft: act fast. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get an injunction. Most courts want to see that you took immediate action to protect your confidential information.
