Believe it was schnorr signatures that had the patent expire right before the white paper but wasn’t used because it hadn’t been thoroughly tested.

Correct!

Schnorr’s?

Nop, that one expired in 2008.

Also if that was the answer it would not be obscure :)

It was an obscure answer 🤣

Cmon this is not obscure.

This is like common knowledge.
