Do you know if this means that TiVo patented features such as Wishlists, Quickview & Thumbs up/down could now theoretically be utilised on Sky Q boxes? This is one of the things that would put me off from moving over to Sky.

I don't think that Series Link & the search capabilities can be patented as the V+ (and many other boxes) had/have these features.
I remember you could read the Tivo (Rovi) licensing agreement in a sub menu on the Sky box. Here is some basic info on the Sky agreement to use Tivo patented technology..
