Quite. Nobody ever looks up patents. Every large software company I have ever worked for specifically forbids its developers from doing patent searches without the cooperation of the corporation's top lawyer, which says something about how common they expect such things to be. (From asking a few such people, the number of patent searches they actually get asked to do by software developers is one or two a *year*. In large multinationals.)
