i had a similar situation a few years ago.
designed a brand for an automotive industry company. sent tradeshow materials to be produced by this exhibit company. exhibit company ends up using graphics and logos from automotive company as their 'new identity'.
my boss called them up and said: ' i know you guys really liked their designed items and we know they are really beautiful to look at etc, but automotive company paid Lots and Lots to have that image be exclusively theirs. we can't have you using the imagery, etc... we don't know who did it, and we understand how excited everyone must be over there, but you guys ultimately didn't pay for it, and it can end up hurting us and you if this is found out. please don't make us take this any further'
problem fixed.
