PATINDEX can not be used with ESCAPE keyword as it can with LIKE.

You're right. Does this DBA.SE Question about closing square bracket help? You might find some workaround there.

Looks like there is no way to properly escape closing bracket (]) in PATINDEX. ] alone can be written verbatim, but cannot be included in the character set.
However, according to this DBA.SE question, there are some workaround (see the linked article for the full example):
- Specify character range that contains ]. (note that this will match unwanted characters)
PATINDEX('%[[-^{}:,]%' COLLATE Latin1_General_BIN2, MyJSONString)
- Apply REPLACE before match.
PATINDEX('%[[' + CHAR(174) + '@]%', REPLACE(@test,']',CHAR(174)))
- Use PATINDEX twice: one for ], and the other for the rest of characters.

No. 1 seems be the one i am looking for. No. 2 cannot be as a workaround. In JSON could be symbol ] as text, not as array closing bracket. No. 3 searches two times.
