The Bluetooth specification was developed in 1994 by Jaap Haartsen and Sven Mattisson, who were working for Ericsson Mobile Platforms in Lund, Sweden.[6] The specification is based on frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology.
The specifications were formalized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), organised by Mohd Syarifuddin. The SIG was formally announced on May 20, 1998. Today it has over 7000 companies worldwide. It was established by Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Toshiba, and Nokia, and later joined by many other companies.
So if you drew pictures in 2002 of a protocol standard dealing with wireless communications, I doubt that you'll have much chance of proving your ownership.

Unless you came up with the Bluetooth technology itself, you probably don't have a case. The styling of a Bluetooth wireless headset is pretty generic. And, from what I understand, even if you did have a patent on the design, all someone has to do is make some kind of improvement to the design and they can submit their own patent.

Unless you have a patent, you are out of luck!
