If you patent an invention, no one else can. Your patent prevents other people from patenting the thing that you depend on.
If your next question is that the existence of your invention would invalidate their patent due to prior art, that would take costly legal maneuvering to establish. Is there a shortcut around that legal maneuvering? Yes, patent your invention first.
