	(~~insert patent search~~ here - to ~~what extent is this technology~~ still proprietary)		If somebody could do an overview of the patent situation on zeolites (tall order), please summarize it here. Many of the most relevant patents appear to be from the 1960s and 70s, so may be in the public domain by now. More recent patents would still be proprietary.
