Well, attempted to patent batch normalization back in 2015, it looks like its application status is still pending. Which in some ways is worse, since that sounds closer to when it was first becoming popular, and from the description it does sound like they tried to patent the general computational method, not any specific implementation.
Can people patent computing F(x) when F is just some function when it has such a low descriptive complexity? Where's the cutoff?
