Inventing something, and having a patent issued on it is one of those things I consider a "stripe" or "merit badge". You should be proud of it. Not everyone can claim to have done so. When I read resumes and see "I was issued 3 patents" or "Inventor of 3 issued patents" it really doesn't mean all that much to me; just another (generally positive) data point. In general I think you would be doing yourself a disservice by NOT mentioning them. Just don't over do it.
