Patent what?

Prime Instruments made caps like that in the 80's, and Amp 
Supply sold them as 8877 caps among other things.

Of course the former owner of Amp Supply went on to sell to 
Audio-phools now, but those caps were advertised in the 80's 
as 8877 and other external anode heat dissipating caps.

It's about as useful as a patent on the sideshow Bearded 
Lady, and the target market is the same.
