could it be that you can only find ntfs-features patents ?
http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-adv.htm
eg. "an/microsoft and ntfs"
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&...

With that search, looks like FAT is equally troubled with patents:

Which patent(s) do you believe applies to
