It sounds like it would be helpful for you to speak with a patent attorney. You could additionally post your question in the Patents (Intellectual Property) section. It would have a better chance of being seen there by attorneys who practice in that area.

I am an hourly employee. The contract was an "Updated" contract, mid employment. I am a Technician not paid to engineer or invent. Now they want to patent my idea.
answered on May 1, 2019
If you sign the new contract your employer will probably have the legal right to seek a patent on your idea; and the consideration will be your continued employment, which they may try to make "at will."

Assuming there was a contract and you breached it, then what were the direct consequential damages as a result. He has to have a direct damage. Theoretically if you quoted him $200... View More

Without reading the relevant contracts, I cannot make a definitive answer. If you rescinded the second loan, the funds should not have been disbursed and there should not be money owed.
However, on the first loan you will owe the money but the funds should be repaid or not issued to the... View More
