You need to create customers and wide appeal first. Cryptopunks were free at the start, so were cryptokitties. Lootproject just launched and anyone could mint a free loot bag and the floor is now 10 ETH. Beeple NFTs were dirt cheap. Pixel portraits were dirt cheap. Maybe you set your price too high and didnt do a good job of marketing? Learn about the space before you try to make a quick cash grab?
Oh I just figured it was designed to be a free cash grab, I set the price pretty low actually. Not really interested in learning how to market vaporware but if idiots want to pay me for nothing I'll take it
guaranteed first filer bonus if you follow the patent through. emails and asks for reviews after you quit, update your address to for automated payment..
once it passes they screw you over saying they wont pay since the patent was filed after you left. ibm wont even tell you the patent was filed even though your names on it and they have all your info and came asking for help before
still trying to figure out how to get paid for my patent, will probably just open it up
You need to play hard-ball with them. They really want your signature on the form assigning them the patent once it's filed. Refuse to sign it until you get paid. They don't need your signature, but they're trying to avoid a legal fight in the future, so you have some leverage. I left there 13 years ago and I've gotten paid for 6 patents since I left, one that was even filed 2 years ago, 11 years after I left.

I don't fully understand the situation you are in, but from what you describe that would be impossible. just because you are the inventor on a patent doesn't mean that you are the owner of the patent. Only the owner, not the inventor, can authorize other people to use the patented invention.
When I was there, the big money was in submitting the patent, and the filing bonus got revised way down, from like $500 to $100 or something. What is it now? Probably not worth getting worked up over.
I'd say check out sails.js, it mimics the mvc pattern of rails, and coffeescript instead of js since the syntax is cleaner and would be more familiar. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/sails-generate-new-coffee) <- may be helpful.
Additionally, check out yeoman, which mimics the generate commands provided by thor and yeoman generators help you scaffold out apps.
Theres the learn from scratch approach if you have a lot of time and want to appear smart, and then theres the ;i need to build something working right away approach', which i like more. Programming is all about abstraction, why bother with the low level apis when you can just use the shiny wrappers and save time.
I used the MEAN stack for a long time, enjoyed it, relatively easy to use, and has come a long way since then(we did actually have to fix bugs in the framework in the start).
When youre more familiar you can roll your own cutting edge framework, maybe use koa, write a yeoman generator, fancy non-relational databases like couchDB.
Learning to recite APIs as one comment pointed out will actually help you understand good api design, and give you a working idea of how theyre wired usually, allowing you to ramp up faster on a new framework than if you jut knew vanlla js and individual components. IMO.
Sorry for any spelling errors, temporarily on a samsung v1 chromebook, things appear a few seconds after i type and the internet is hard to use while listening to music
