This patent is for executable QR codes, ie, actual byte-code instructions encoded in a QR code. This doesn't affect Bitcoin or anything else using QR codes for URIs or IDs or any other kind of non-executable data.

It looks way too broad.  Anyone using it for bitcoins prior to his filing date would be grandfathered in anyway.
