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

someone copied my website design. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

This involves content I created over the past 33 months. I do not have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.

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

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the Lanham Act. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct 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 hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
