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

software patent eligibility after Alice. I've been dealing with this for about 13 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already tried to resolve this directly but the other party is not cooperating.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

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.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

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.

An attorney could probably resolve this with one letter tbh.

I see this constantly on this sub.

I demanded to talk to a manager and suddenly they could help/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

This is depressingly common.

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

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.
