[IncRnd]

There are different ways to handle risk, such as avoidance, reduction, transfersal, acceptance. I was answering a specific question as to how people manage risk in a given situation. In answer I related how companies will reduce the risk. I was not talking about general cases of how to defend against the risk of patents but a specific case as to reducing the risk of adding externally found code into a product.

My answer described literally what many companies do today. It was not a theoretical pie in the sky answer or a discussion about patent IP.

To restate, the real-world answer I gave for, "How is it possible to determine if you've violated a random patent from somewhere on the internet via a small snippet of customized auto-generated code?" is often "Do not take code from the Internet."
