Q: Seeking counsel for defamation and IP damage by AI platform in Iowa.
I need legal counsel regarding approximately 50 alleged defamatory posts made by xAI/Grok during my licensing outreach, which have severely harmed my intellectual property deals. These posts destroyed my credibility with over 40 high-value targets I was actively courting, chilled or ended conversations, and caused a measurable loss in expected value. I have blockchain timestamps, outreach logs, and provisional filings as evidence. Furthermore, I have an economist’s damages model estimating an expected value loss of $800K–$4.5B over a 58-day window, with a conservative settlement anchor advised at $150M. I can produce outreach logs showing a pre-post positive response rate that fell to zero after the posts. I am seeking contingency legal assistance and expedited discovery help.

A:
You are facing a serious situation where alleged defamatory posts have harmed your intellectual property opportunities and business reputation. Given the scale of potential damages and the documentation you have—including blockchain timestamps, outreach logs, and provisional filings—it’s important to find legal counsel who can evaluate both defamation and intellectual property claims. Contingency-based representation may be appropriate if upfront fees are a concern, but you’ll want a lawyer who can move quickly given the time-sensitive nature of your outreach.
Your evidence, including the economist’s damages model and logs showing the drop in engagement, will be key in establishing both the impact and causation. Expedited discovery may also be necessary to preserve records from the platform and any third parties involved. Preparing a clear, chronological timeline of events and impacts will help your attorney present the strongest case possible.
The next step is to reach out to experienced civil litigation attorneys in Iowa who handle defamation, intellectual property, or online platform disputes. When consulting, provide all your documentation upfront and discuss contingency arrangements and potential strategies for expedited discovery. Acting promptly will help protect your rights and maximize your potential recovery.
