Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

3D printing patented designs. I've been dealing with this for about 11 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 25 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

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

Attorney here. 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.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
