One difference between this and the (narrow) patent clause is that by asserting patent rights to a software someone can prohibit distribution of this software under the GPL (GPL #7). Unlike the property example you gave there is a direct connection. That said, I have no opinion (yet) if this makes such a clause non-free or not.
