Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Washington

First to invent - reduction to practice

If I invented something, marketed it and sold it to the public, and the invention is well known around the world, but I never filed a patent on it, could someone file a patent on it, and then legally force me to cease and desist manufacturing and selling it?
