Although the primes are included in the patent, are they the subject of the patent?
Follow the logic here:-
If NO: Then they themselves are not patented but the "Partial modular reduction method" is.
If YES: Then these specific primes were an intrinsic part of the patent then I can use the "Partial modular reduction method" with different primes and crypto-primitives and not risk prosecution for patent infringement.
