I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
competitor copying my API. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
This involves software/code I developed over the past 23 months. I do have documentation proving my ownership and timeline.
Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?
Idk but i keep hearing about cases like this.
I ended up escalating to a supervisor/manager, which cost about $1-3 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.
The trap most people fall into is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline 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.

Every time I see a post like this...
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
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.
