Software Patent — prior art search before patent filing

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

prior art search before patent filing. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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 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.
