Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
3D printing patented designs. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves content I created over the past 31 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
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.
Following this thread — This is eerily similar to what I'm dealing with. Keep us posted?
I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
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.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The trap most people fall into is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
