Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
reverse engineering software. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 29 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?
I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under 17 U.S.C. § 106, substantially similar.
I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
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.
I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
