Not commenting on anything other than the mechanics of the camera. I am profoundly agnostic on the whole Rossi issue.
My knowledge of patent law is not great, but as I understand it, somebody cannot “steal” his ideas even without a patent if he can prove prior art. Since he’s been all over the news for a couple years, it would be pretty tough for somebody to claim they came up with the idea without knowledge of his work.

***Basically, Defkalion appears to have done exactly that. They worked with Rossi for a while, had a falling out, then miraculously had a breakthrough of their own which seems exactly like Rossi’s. Rossi is a mercurial personality, so it is easy to imagine that he pushed them to the edge & pissed them off to the point they would steal his IP.
