I find it more and more surprising how much trivial shit passes the USPTO exams and becomes patents. The ones I see regularly are intellectual landgrabbing and have nothing to do with the protection of investment.

I'm not going to read his "official biography", but this invention, and associated patents, were led by a colleague and me, with the first two granted before we even met Delo.
It doesn't surprise me to see him overstating his contribution and diminishing that of his future (now ex) wife - particularly what we know of his politics.
This much influence over any "mainstream" political party should be stopped, whether the source is foreign or domestic.

…
Quote about Ben Delo from a recent article: "He was granted parents for several technologies he invented, including a software [sic] to automatically repair internet links to material that had been archived or moved, according to his official biography."
