Sorry to hear about this. I bet it truly hits hard when you have put a lot of your hard work into something and watch someone else take it and make a profit. I'm not going to beat the dead horse over the whole patent thing, but I personally have decided to NOT pursue selling certain items on eBay without having a patent. And because I thought the cost of a patent would have probably outweighed the profit I would make, I decided not to sell the products that I could have made and sold. Years later on, big companies like Apple patented what I was going to patent and sell and I probably missed out big time. Or maybe not. I will never know. Oh well. You live and you learn. And the crazy part is that there are companies that directly rip off big companies like Apple and sell them for a fraction of what Apple sells them for. For instance, you can buy a replacement iPhone 4/4S back glass panel for a few dollars shipped to you. And it has all of the Apple logos on it. Looks identical to a factory Apple back. Or buy new cables for a dollar shipped. So even of you have a patent, it may not even help you. Either way, I feel your pain and it sucks that a company stole your intellectual property for their benefit.
