My friend told me that smartphone brand A reported smartphone brand B because B has "stolen" a feature that A had used before B. (Damn my writing style is complicated :dead:)

So I was thinking about this today:
What if I invent a product that already exist and I become a millionaire?
Can they report me for "copying"? Can I loose all my work that I've put in my product? Can I be sued?
