Yes, however some people feel that given the way the patent office is
spewing huge quantities of patents, many on old well-known techniques, and
the the absurd difficulty of reading patent claims, and the deliberately
vague language used in the hope of broadening the scope later, that it is
actually not possible to keep track of them, therefore not possible to avoid
infringement with any certainty. So, better to fall back to the 2nd-best
position...
It's a difficult question to answer because there are 0 good answers.
