Looks fine to me. 

Alternatively (or more explicitly), it could be: Compares the specified object with this {@code ListFormat} for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a {@code ListFormat}  and the two represent the same formats, specifically, if both {@code locale} and {@code patterns}, returned from {@link #getLocale()} and {@link #getPatterns()} respectively, are equal.
