Yes, I know of patents. i also know that patents must qualify as "Novel", and therefore must be not "Non-obvious". My concern is that using a material like silicon oxide might be considered obvious by a judge. i also know patents expire.
i also know the world's number 1 fab with 51.5% market share also has ReRam many patents with multiple mentions of silicon oxide. I also note this company has already launched their product to market.
Patents are pretty much useless until someone sues and a court decides who wins.
this was my number 1 reason for not buying in.
again, in not trying to down ramp, just give you more information before risking the house.
good luck!!!
