Hypothetical question

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

trade dress for product packaging. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Take teh above with a huge disclaimer that I'm just some person on the internet 🤷.

Here's my take on the legal issues just saying.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

Check your state bar's lawyer referral service, they can point you to someone who handles this.

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.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. But yeah, have someone look at your specific situation.
