I dont think the patent is the reason as the AR-10 was in the market at the same time as the FN FAL and the M1 carbine used a similar trigger mechenism.

M! carbine

THe AR10 and the AR15 trigger are far more closely related to each other than the FAL the AR15 displays the eveloution of the disconnector and its catch point.
