Official Trisquel policy seems to be: Ignore patents entirely.
Microsoft has claimed for years to have 200+ software patents covering tasks performed by the Linux kernel, and that is their legal basis for successfully charging money to pretty much every Android device sold in the US. But remember, it is different with GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux is well known for having a patents shield of thousands of patents, supplied by Novell, IBM, Red Hat and many other companies.
It is worth noting also that software patents are ilegal in Europe, bit I don't think that Trisquel relies on that - even tough it is a distribución of european original, Trisquel is intended for the entire world, including the US. Otherwise Trisquel wouldn't be distributed in the FSF membership cards which are sent from the US.
