Looking at the patent paperwork, is it possible there is something in here that JP Morgan Chase is expecting to be able to go after Bitcoin with on software patent grounds, particularly pertaining to future development?

Even if they could go after the developers, the patent was filed November 28, so any preexisting software, protocols and methods are safe.
