People are in general paying less attention to you than you might think. It's far far more likely that nobody cares than you have a rush or competition.
However it is possible that your idea is great and indeed will become a new state of the art. In such a case generally you've done recently well to get enough attention to be copied.
Execution, sales, marketing, persistence, resilience and perseverance are far harder to do and far more valuable than an idea.
So much more so that it's difficult to think of any companies where the idea was really key.
Maybe Dropbox. Although the execution challenge was huge.
