Is it possible to know if a mechanic you want to apply to a game is patented before applying it or do you only find out when you are sued?

Rule number one of software development is that you NEVER EVER go anywhere near a patent. EVER. If you do they will use that as proof u stole and burn u at the steak.
I know that, that’s why I’m asking where or how to know if I’m about to use a patented mechanic.
