Minimal reformatting to make the questions a tick more readable.
Dec 4, 2013 at 1:15 comment added D.W. @nymble That patent does not appear to patent Dual_EC_DBRG. Nor does it appear to patent any backdoor. Rather, the patent lists Dual_EC_DBRG in the prior art, and claims to patent a method for generating the points P,Q in a way that is verifiably free of backdoors.
