I've been asked to produce this data structure as an interview question. Aren't patents supposed to be non-trivial?

Heh, now that you mention it this does make a good interview question. I might use it with our next candidate at foursquare.

Maybe you were interviewing for a position in the legal department. Knowledge of patents could be useful there.
