Ok, I would appreciate everyones honest opinion on this. I can't get into too much detail but tell me what you would suggest I do.

A large mainstream company hired a very well known design company to make something for them to promote their product. This promotional material is going all over the Internet. The product has literally sold millions.

Someone sent this promotional material to us when they recognized 3 images in it that belonged to us. Two of the images they kept exactly the way they were, one image was reversed.

The images in question were taken by us and since they are of something unique that we own there is no possiblity that they could belong to anyone else.

At no time did they contact us regarding using said images and we state that all the images appearing are our property etc.

I live in Canada, the company making the promotional material does not have a US or Canada office that I know of, but they have several all over the world. The company selling the product may not be based in Canada or the U.S. either but they distribute the product all over the world.

So, what would you suggest we do about this?
