I been reading into that, willful patent infringement vs unintentional. I been trying my best to get into the "why your approach is different" bucket but there's so much reading to do in the first place that it still feels risky. The first thing I want to do is get patent infringement insurance but like the issue with getting a lawyer, costs. It's too much money to bootstrap, especially with the looming recession. There's so many people just building projects in Show HN, there must be an approach they're doing beyond just winging it and hoping a lawsuit doesn't land in their inbox.

You have a good head on your shoulders - don't over analyze it. Three months on IP work doesn't really matter if you never ship. If you're getting joy from the research, then continue - and maybe think about becoming a patent attorney - but if you want to build, build.

Good luck!
