From Harry Powell
Practising chemists use the trivial names because they are largely synonymous
with the IUPAC terms, they are understood by other practising chemists, and
because they are a useful, unambiguous shorthand.
In a patent application, it is presumably more important that the information
is correct than that it adheres to an often unused standard. Typos can creep
into the most carefully written piece, especially if the terms used are
unfamiliar or are rarely used.
