I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance haha.
someone copied my website design. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and teh situation isn't improving.
This involves original creative work over the past 21 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
Important clarification on arbitration: if your contract has a mandatory arbitration clause, you generally CAN'T sue in court. But here's the thing — filing for arbitration is often MORE intimidating to companies because they have to pay the arbitration fees (often $3,000-5,000 for the company's share). Use this to your advantage haha.
A cease and desist letter is usually the first step. Many situations resolve at that stage.
Update: I followed similar advice and it worked out. Keep pushing!
