I assume I can separate "you" from me, because I know what I would buy, and I also have personal experience what the public would buy and therefore your point is proven, but since I'm still allowed so far to have my own opinion, it's not what I would do. I will profess, I have over the decades had lots of first time innovative stuff, competitors often copied, and falsely called their own design, some just changed the color and made themselves look stupid, so two things to takeaway, I'm sensitive to the issue, and until you walked in similar shoes, you likely don't get it. I'm not against copying a great idea, just man up you did.
