Patents are frequently intentionally as vague as possible. You’re operating from the perspective that an item is patented to protect an idea as opposed to being weaponized to make money. You are for sure 100% going to be doing something where it’s arguable that it could fall under an existing patent. You might still win if you want to pay to fight it out in court.
