Just an added tidbit from the RSA FAQ:

http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/newfaq/q28.html

Question 28. Is the Use of DSA Covered by Any Patents?

David Kravitz, former member of the NSA, holds a patent on DSA [Kra93].
Claus P. Schnorr has asserted that his patent [Sch91] covers certain
implementations of DSA. RSA Data Security has also asserted coverage of
certain implementations of DSA by the Schnorr patent.
