There hasn't been a single patent covering a standard React implementation found yet. Someone found one that might cover a niche case, but the bottom line is no one really knows if any patents of any substance or having broad claims will actually ever issue.

That combined with the implied licenses means there was a patent clause causing a ton of unecessary hand-wringing.

The reality is every company of FB's size is patenting every developer's latest dump if it can get through the patent office.
