Music Licensing Question — competitor copying my API

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

competitor copying my API. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves software/code I developed over the past 16 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

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