I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

brand name too similar to competitor. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 8 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline honestly.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's consumer protection office? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

The #1 mistake I see here is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
