You are probably correct, but I think those type of nits would have to be picked in court, and I'll bet it's not likely to happen for an individual. He'd first have to somehow catch the attention of a corporate lawyer who actually thought the individual's use of the IP was costing the corporation money. Then he'd further have to ignore the "cease and desist" letter that the lawyer sends, and personally decide to go to court for sake of principle.

For example, I could hypothetically build a headlamp modulator (safety device) for a motorcycle used on my son's paper route. These are patented devices, but I would not worry about any risk of litigation. Not saying that I've actually built this device, or that I even have a son, of course :)
