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?
NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.
There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the DMCA safe harbor provisions, which requires showing compliant with notice requirements.
Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
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.

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

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 biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
