If it can be shown that you can show that you have a history of reading patents, then it can be argued that you wilfully infringed. It certainly makes defense much harder. Patent lawyers generally recommend that engineers NOT read patents for that reason.

- burgerbrain 15y agoI don't know, I'm not a patent lawyer myself. I suspect however, that they would advise you this is a risky activity.
