If it's patented, how can Sibelius use it in their software?

I used the ribbon API when building a C# GUI. It's just part of the Microsoft application framework. Maybe they prevent other frameworks from using it? Underneath the fancy paint there's not really much to it though, it's just adding a tab bar to a tool bar.

It's been a long time since the ribbon came out. It's possibly expired. If not, a company can enter into a license agreement to use patented technology.
