Write a short story about a patent attorney who stumbles upon a mysterious patent from a secretive inventor. As they delve into the implications of this patent, they must navigate legal and ethical challenges, uncover hidden truths, and face a rival firm that will stop at nothing to claim the invention for themselves.
