I think, patent is talking about stevia the plant, whose leaves are quite sweet with a licorice taste when eaten raw or dried. When powdered, you can use those to sweeten i.e tea. You are talking about steviol glycosides that can be extracted, like sugar, from that same plant.

So either both are artificial, or neither are. FWIW I wouldn't call either artificial. I'm not talking about synthetic stevia as I haven't encountered such.
