'... if you use CC0-licensed code in your project, and the author of that code later claims your project is infringing a patent they own regarding that code, your defense will be limited.'
Even if the licence waives patent rights, that doesn’t prevent lawsuits coming from some other party claiming patent rights. CC0 is supposed to be equivalent to public-domain, i.e. no copyright claimed at all. As far as I know (IANAL), that “public-domain” concept implies nothing about patent issues.
