Someone patented compression. http://www.google.com/patents?vid=4558302

Someone patented search engines. http://www.google.com/patents?vid=6285999

Someone patented public-key cryptography. http://www.google.com/patents?vid=4405829

Obviously none of those statements are misleading in any way.

Just because someone doesn't hold the same viewpoint as you doesn't mean they're wearing a tinfoil hat. Get over yourself.
