You can't give up.

I mean, did Albert Edison give up when they stole his theory of regularity?  Did Benjamin Franklin give up when the Germans shot down his kite?  No, and why?  Because they were great scientists, and when you're great you don't let other guys walk all over you.  You stand up and say, "That's my really cool science project you guys are going ga-ga over."
