Another way to go broke. My understanding is that many places believe
that you shouldn't do patent searches at all when developing a new
technology because if it can be shown that you did it can be shown
that you should have been aware of the patent and now you are
willfully infringing so damages go way up. And with people patenting
one-click and other nonsense you really can't do much of anything
without violating some sort of overly broad patent.
