We have removed the product and will use our patent on it to prevent anyone else from making one in the future.

Doesn't the patent just document how it works so individuals can create and release 3D models of the device so anyone can create their own?

yes, but they would be able to take them down from stores

patent is already out, so that damage is done

it’s also a small damage, the issue is convenience and mass sale to consumers, it’s like disclosing meth recipes, if you want to figure it out it’s possible, but responsible companies try not to reproduce that massively
