Patent controversy

Sutter's name is on US Patent 7496889, "Whitespace Keywords". On reading this document, there are countless nonsensical statements (the whole premise of keywords with a space in them is trivial). At one point it goes into

(LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). LAN technologies include Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI), Ethernet, Token Ring and the like. WANtechnologies include, but are not limited to, point-to-point links, circuit switching networks like Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN) and variations thereon, packet switching networks, and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL).

Any compiler developer would write this work off, but the article suggests some pre-eminence. What's the deal?
