Isn't there some patent on winglets and maybe Boeing is trying to
circumvent it?

Aviation Partners and Boeing have been working closely together. I
think there may even be financial links. For the Eurocrap Deathbus
makers to claim their "sharklets"aren't a copy of the ones on the
737NG seems a stretch to me.
Whether that kind of winglet is patentable is another matter, given
the widespread use elsewhere.
I wonder how they ever sold any A320s as they burn about 4 to 5 %
more fuel for the same mission.
