The US patent office doesn't require you actually build your invention and demonstrate it works before they give you a patent. They only care if you have a mostly novel method and can pay the filing fee. That's how (((patent trolls))) are able to run their scam. So even if the patent is real, the device might not be.
Weather manipulation has been a thing for so long now that even Chyna has managed to successfully copy the technology. That said, hurricanes can occur naturally too, tho they generally don't do much damage in countries with good construction practices.
There are also patents for antigravity devices, I dont think they actually check if your design is replicable or works, just that no one else has something similar already on the books.
Besides, there are more reliable weather manipulation techniques, weve had cloud-seeding for decades.
