Domain Name Dispute — utility vs design patent strategy

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

utility vs design patent strategy. 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 got conflicting advice.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

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.

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.

I've dealt with this before.

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

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.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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.
