Yeah, I'm working on a system that makes it easy to build P2P E2EE apps[1], and your comment has me a little freaked out.

I am not aware of any lawsuits or patents on this, could you send links / share your story more?

Never ever search for patents, knowingly infringing on a patent is much worse than doing so unknowingly.

Are you saying the law has no requirement to do any sort of due diligence? I find that surprising.

Such a due diligence requirement would not be compatible with the current patent system, you are unlikely to be doing anything these days without infringing on someones patent.

Is knowingly turning a blind eye just as bad?
