There's an easier way to find which enzymes are patented. NEB has
this website called REBASE http://rebase.neb.com/rebase/rebase.html
You can find restriction enzymes using the second search box. Lets
say you are looking for EcoRI, and end up here
http://rebase.neb.com/rebase/enz/EcoRI.html Over on the right you can
find links to the protein and nucleotide sequences, which would be
useful if you wanted to synthesize the enzyme sequences. Also on that
page is a link to related references. If the enzyme is patented it
will be listed on there. There's often hundreds of references, so
just Ctrl+F to find patents. And just FYI, there's often multiple
patents on any one enzyme (relating to different applications of
embodiments of that enzyme) so you may have to read a few of them to
find which one pertains directly to your intended application.
