It always takes a foreigner to point out those things concerning America which we, as CITIZENS, don’t have the good sense to investigate ourselves.

CC is correct. I looked up the patent law and it states, in pertinent part:

Any person who “invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent,” subject to the conditions and requirements of the law.

So this patent seems to be contrary to law inasmuch as the concept of is not NEW.
