I would suggest completely ignoring patent issues for several reasons: 1) the DIYbio people tend to change every protocol, so chances are the what is actually done will be quite different than the patented method, 2) Bio patents are a tangled bank of overlapping and limited patent claims, so no one on the list has the specialized domain and legal experience to know whether a particular proposed project violates a patent, 3) patent lawsuits are *very* expensive and there is no money to be won from DIYbio people, so a company filing a suit would be spending $$$ for no gain, 4) there is no history of companies suing DIYbio enthusiasts.
The people on the list are mainly discussing efforts to get 1970-1980's methods to work, not building artificial hearts or engineering corn that produces truffle oil.
