Statute of Limitations of B to B issue

I owned a manufacturing company that has since gone bankrupt. That is closed and I own any right to any suit. At our client's request, my company spent roughly $30,000 in 2002 to design and fabricate samples for them so that we could furnish and install the product(identification signs) for them at their many locations. Just as we finished giving them the samples, two of my key sales people(who were working with this client) quit and started their own business. They struck a deal with the client and ended up getting all of their work. The client's purchasing person even stated to one of our installers,in private,that she is taking a very big risk giving this work to the newley formed company. Needless to say this upset me but we weren't in any position to takle this at the time. They used our samples and design and went with the other sign company. At the very least, I want to send them a letter to let the higher ups know what went on. I now have very little paper work to support this but it is common knowledge to my former employees, especially to the salesman who took over this account and was stonewalled, for obvious reasons. Would the Statute of Limitations prohibit me from collecting damages? Thank you

It's not too late, but if you went bankrupt then the bankruptcy trustee owns those samples.
