As far as I know, Perlin noise has never been patented. According to Wikipedia, however (emphasis mine):

> in 2001 he was granted a patent for the use of 3D+ implementations of simplex noise for texture synthesis.

OpenSimplex is a variant of simplex noise developed specifically to work around that patent.
