Maybe not presently, but my takeaway is that he accuses his would-be competition (and those funding them) of not following the law. I am not familiar with the law enough to know whether you can play the well-they-don't-have-to card.

But my question still stands, is there any recourse for a company who believes it is held to a double standard with regards to direct competitors?

I believe such a company could sue for unfair competition in California (but talk to an actual lawyer before acting on this belief--I am not a lawyer). The key is that it has to have actually been injured by the action of the competitors.
