Nor will any "answers" from an attorney.
Ever try and get a straight answer from one? Especially a patent and 
trademark one?
I have, and the best to hope for is "maybe"

Also keep in mind that, at least in the US, ANY asshole can sue anyone 
for the filing fee!

Too many, such as Verizon, gain patents on things that really shouldn't 
be patented, thanks to the US PTO and their ignorance of technical 
matters, then others have to attempt to defend themselves in front of a 
"jury of their peers" who are as least as ignorant, and suffer the results.
Refer back to the Vonage case.

There is no guarantee of no risk.
