Without reading or looking at the patent at all, it is almost always really bad
to discuss patents in public, especially on email.
Patents & patent trolls are so pervasive that you can help feed patent trolls by
bringing up the possibility of infringement in these forums (even when they are
marginal claims).
I have always been given guidance that engineers should never, ever do patent
searches and never discuss the specifics of IP issues in email.
