Yes, exactly. Do not do this type of patent research in software, it is all bad, unless you are looking to file a patent yourself. Theoretically, but unlikely

Yes, exactly. Do not do this type of patent research in software, it is all bad, unless you are looking to file a patent yourself. Theoretically, but unlikely unless you get massive, it could also increase your liability as you may now be "willfully violating" a patent from this date onwards, where as if they came after you in the future, you would only be violating it willfully once they inform you of the patent and your potential violation. Do not do this, there is no point. But I am not a lawyer.
