Yes it is, but read the text at the link you sent:

Excerpt:
"Thanks to a reader who has pointed us to a US patent which describes a
device which can perform faster than the speed of light. He suggests
that it is lucky that the US Patent Office pays for itself, otherwise US
taxpayers might want to know why the organisation is hiring people who
haven't got even the slightest clue about modern physics. ..."

Here is a great rule of thumb: Just because it is patented, doesn't
make it a good, or valid, idea.

When it comes to claims of sinking the laws of physics I will take peer
reviewed research by physicists over public servants at the USPTO any day.
