Patent status:
The patent referenced above, although it only directly describes knapsack-based cryptosystems, was claimed to cover all public key cryptography. It expired in 1997.
Security comment:
DH key agreement on its own does not provide authentication of either party, and is therefore vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.
