No, absolutely not. The fact that it has been patented means that it should not be used. The situation is similar the the GIF image file format. When the patent holders of the compression technique it used started to want licensing payments, the community invented PNG to replace it. (The patent behind GIF has now expired, so this is no longer a consideration.)
