Tina, When someone tells me he/she has a "major problem" with ownership of something that I obviously own, I take that as a tip-off that I've looking at a shark.
The good news is that you've got something of value they want. The bad news is that if you're not prepared for them, you could be dinner. Presuming that you're not in a position to hire and pay for a lawyer/negotiator to adequately represent you (and still achieve your objectives), and that you are in position to call the shots, then your best bet may be to put this deal on hold until you've got your position on these issues sorted out to your liking and reviewed by a competent lawyer. This could take some time, and you don't want to be forced to act under too much pressure. Look at the bright side: the shark has told you that you're valuable and then pointed out some areas that you need to sort out. Walk away or put it on hold and you're ahead of the game.
