He's putting out a patent for some of the stuff that I come up with is a complete and utter waste of time for me just absolutely makes absolutely no sense there are just not going to do it.

Okay, first, again, yes, you can keep quiet about an idea. But how are you going to make money from an idea if you keep it quiet. In order to really make money from a product, you've got to sell the product and the instant you start sales. What is going to stop a huge manufacturer from flooding the market with low cost competitors, competing products. So keeping quiet is not a viable option. You have to get the patent.
