If it had happened to me I would be really mad, but it hasn't happened to me, so I can talk about how I feel about this in an unbiased way.
And I feel like this: I'm happy to see that a product that has no actual value (a retractile stick) is produced at a very cheap price. If only the "inventor of the retractile stick" had the rights to produce it, he'd do it at a very inflated price. Now he can't, and everybody (except him) wins.
(All of this assuming he would be granted a patent on a retractile stick, which I very much doubt)
