However:
1) Doing your best not to infringe is respecting IP.
2) There is no offence that I am aware of for working around a patent.
3) In terms of errors and omissions in a patent that could only be assessed on a case by case basis but a patent stands as to the claims allowed by the examiner until it is challenged in some way. Errors and omissions probably come under the defence that there is a defect or there was fraud.
It is notable that there are about 20 defenses in the US to patent infringement and probably a similar number in other jurisdictions.

Consult your lawyer to work through the appropriate list for your jurisdiction but its pretty simple if you stick to experimental use or similar exemptions.
