There are other issues too.

{mu'a}

The language is not finalized yet (as evidenced by the {ji'i} 200 discussion
about {zo'e}).
The language is not self-hosting (many definitions of words, especially
gismu, rely on another language, often English, to be understood)
The learning material is out-dated (old morphology rules, xorlo, dot side,
etc).
The people who are actively working on the language (of whom there are few)
are doing so in their spare time.

As for your question of "Who's got the patent?", international IP law is
even more complicated than any single nation's, but in the US, first of all,
the language would be protected by a copyright (if at all), and (although I
don't understand all the details) I think the answer to your question is
"The Logical Language Group, Inc.".
