It shows how sick the patent system has become. The whole reason for patents is to provide public disclosure of the methods in the patent for the public benefit, so that they can be discussed, improved upon and not lost to humanity when a particular invention is no longer made by its inventor. It is explicitly part of their purpose that they become public knowledge and can be openly discussed.
