I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.
Amazon seller copying my product listing. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 20 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
I've seen this play out several times in my field.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.
The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the DMCA safe harbor provisions years for this type of claim.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
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.
Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
