Assuming you could even have such a patent, it would be invalid because of prior art. See <a href='http://www.chessvariants.com/large.dir/dao.html'>here</a> for Jim Aikin's Dragons, Archers, and Oxen which was published on these pages in 1998, for example. I'm also fairly certain he wasn't the first to use a common name like 'Archer' for a CV piece.
