I doubt their pump design is anything but rocket science, low pressure
centrifugal pumps for bi-prop rocket use were used by Robert Goddard and
Germany
back in the 1930's. It's the modern use of rare earth permanent magnet
motors that is unique, something I researched 10 years ago but got no one's
attention in,
i.e.The Rocket Racing League.

After looking at the patent, Peter Beck is the lead name i.e. Rocket Lab.
To me this looks like a design patent. If I 3D designed & printed a
different engine, I would patent the design. The Rocket Lab design looks
reasonable but nothing special. What I would love to see is a design patent
on their pump system.

Interesting diagrams, surprisingly weak claims.
