Yes! You must never have anything in writing that proves you knew about the patent. Make sure of this.

But don't worry about patents now. That's for lawyers to worry about.

Um, or they can just ask if you knew. Not putting it in writing only counts if you're going to back it up with lies in court. Otherwise, if you knew, you knew.
