Trade Secret Misappropriation — who owns code written with Copilot

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

who owns code written with Copilot. I've been dealing with this for about 6 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 20 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. 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.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
