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.
