This drives me nuts- I see it all the time, patterns popular in the 70s and 80s re-emerging and being claimed as "new" and "copyrighted". This is one of the reasons I seldom buy patterns, and most of the books I own emphasize techniques and not specific patterns. I also love designing, so that seems to be where mine come from. I may use classic patchwork, but would never consider a variation of only fabric pattern or border to be any copyright infringement.
