Not really, unless you're looking to sell the software to the patent trolls and not other startups/legitimate businesses. Even if you could do this (it requires machine learning far beyond what is currently available), the answer would always be "this software violates many patents". And once you know that for sure you're liable for triple the damages when your business is successful enough for the patent holders to come around to wring their money from you. Unfortunately, it really is better to just be ignorant in this situation and let the lawyers figure it out.
