Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
Amazon seller copying my product listing. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 35 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?
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.
I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.
There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the Lanham Act, which requires showing likely to cause confusion.
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.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
