So I came up with a unique idea and product for Xbox controllers. They are rubber grips that for around the sides of the Xbox controller. So I started my company and got underway with the manufacturing and design process. We are currently on our 3rd prototype and hope to have our product out within the next couple months.
Today I found out about a company named squidgrip, who basically has the same idea as us with just a slightly different design. I spoke to lawyers and they told me that my product isn't patentable so I didn't try to patent it or anything of the sort. Squidgrip.com pretty much stole our idea and beat us to coming out with the product.
I know I can't do anything legally, but what do I do? Keep going with my company and try to beat them?
Im just 17 and this is my first company, so I'm pretty inexperienced and need some help on what to do?
Thanks.
