If the patents were that innovative you would hear it on the news. Miners already have technical team onsite to extract whatever they have, it is just a matter of cash cost.

Curious to know if the work leading to the recent patents was done in a lab or a pilot plant?
Assuming a lab, SCY will need to scale this up to a pilot plant. If it was a pilot plant, then it will need to scale it up to as part of the commercial production. Who knows what stage this is at?
Its true that these patents need to be proven economically viable and depending on where they are in the process more time (and money) may be needed.
If anyone were to uses a patented method they would be liable. Granted, SCY doesn't have the financial resources to legally fight a patent violation but it hopefully will not come to that.
Its funny that its "common knowledge" that they are in talk with Freeport when the company has not disclosed anything. This is truly a speculative story. :)
