If you want to prevent someone from copying it then you need to make it cheap enough that it isn't worth copying. For example, a WiFi LED light bulb. The ESP32 is a more expensive part with a lot more capability.

I also am concerned about copying. There are other methods that can be used to make duplicating the product harder but they make it a little harder but not impossible for someone to overcome.
