In the context of an encryption algorithm, the right to use would be the most prominent one; you wouldn't be allowed to use the algorithm unless you have a patent license. But what does "use" mean in relation to an algorithm?

Perform it: do the steps that the algorithm says you should do, or let a machine do it. IOW, run the code.

If your point is that software patents are evil: I fully agree.
