Hello,
I have a copyrighted booklet that resembles my competitor's (also copywritten). I was just sent a letter from their lawyer that I must cease production of my product because it violates copyright/trademark laws. I was wondering, if I received a registered copyright, can I still be sued? Wouldn't my copyright cover me? My product was copywritten 1 year after my competitor's (mine in 1988, their's in 1997). Also, I must mention that I did get the idea for my product from my competitor, but mine was substantially modified and given a completely different name. I live in PA, they are located in NY. Thank you for your help!!
