IANAL but somehow I get the feeling that entering those industries as a new guy would be a real pain in the ass at the patent office.

Just commenting that you said IANAL and "pain in the ass" and I'm still laughing

Patents tend to last 20 years. Most major appliances probably don't have any currently valid patents that are likely to get in the way unless you're trying to make them "smart."

It's more "whose patents will they inadventently end up using?"
