Guided answer

Copyright: someone copied my content, software or images. What can I do?

First confirm you own the copyright and that no statutory exception applies. Then choose between a takedown request, a notice and a suit.

Could their use fall within a statutory exception?

Section 52 lists acts that are not infringement - for example fair dealing for private use including research, criticism or review, and reporting current events, plus specific exceptions for computer programmes.

Not sure whether this applies to your invention?

The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
