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

software patent eligibility after Alice. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but got conflicting advice.

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.

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. 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 relevant statute 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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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