Reuters is one of the worst reporting organizations I've ever come across.
They're competitive nature has caused them to write horribly inaccurate and
poorly researched articles. Personally, I've had to correct them *5* times
when covering computer crime stories.

Check out MetaFilter:

or this article for more thorough investigation:

The patent is most likely a small part of the whole picture.
