Their patent is meaningless.
A patent for using 16TB of data as a salt is trivial.
password + salt + password or salt + password + salt are known and trivial patterns in hashing. Unpatentable and even if a patent was somehow gotten, unenforcable.
If your salt is 5 characters it can certainly be 500000000 characters instead without the patent overlords having any slimy grounds to indemn you
