I see your hope and raise you 6,859,816, claim 1 of which appears to read on odd-radix Cooley—Tukey.

Of course— if that is what this patent is actually doing, it is patently invalid without a shred of hope at being enforceable. But it does show that the presence of a clear description of your algorithm in the patent database doesn't mean much without a fair amount of costly analysis.
