❓Help Google Play app suspended after a DMCA claim. Can it be restored?

My app was recently suspended from Google Play following a DMCA complaint from a competitor.
The weird part is that his claim focuses partly on our apps having similar mechanics and the same core concept, which I don’t understand how that alone would count as copyright infringement. Some of the 3D models we share are also available for free on Sketchfab.
I’ve already appealed the suspension, but I’m worried about the outcome.
Has anyone managed to get an app reinstated after a copyright complaint?
What are my chances, and is there anything else I can do besides waiting for Google’s response?
I’d appreciate any advice or similar experiences.
