I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

can I sell AI-generated images commercially. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves original creative work over the past 16 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

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

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the Lanham Act, likely to cause confusion.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

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.
