Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

3D printing patented designs. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 34 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

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.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the DMCA safe harbor provisions. Your state may provide additional protections.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

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