QUESTION
Does my situation fall under copyright infringement?
Asked on Sep 19th, 2019 on Copyrights - Michigan
More details to this question:
I created some custom furniture for a local business in 3d software. Sent the 3d renderings along with our price quote to have the tables built and delivered. They went MIA, no response to our quote they asked for. Today I seen an article about the business and when going through photos, the tabkes I designed were built by someone else. Exactly to the T of what I designed and sent in my proposal. Do I have any kind of case here? Thank you for any answers and/or advice

It depends. If anyone can recreate your custom furniture rendering using pre-built templates in the 3d software, then it is not as protected you would want it to be. However, if your custom design is "unique" and cannot be recreated with pre-built templates, then it is your effort and the idea is stolen without any payment. If you have proof of sending the quote, design via email or some other means and a copy of your design work in the article, then you got a case. Get an attorney from your state to proceed further. Good luck.
