Management, according to The Economist, may have a fiduciary obligation to evade paying for their use of intangible assets from others.  "Efficient infringement" is a relatively new topic that explains how incumbents and defendants choose to avoid paying because it is cheaper to delay by way of litigation and tactics such as negative PR and lobbying. Individual companies large and small are victims of efficient infringement.  They can try to outlast the deep pocketed infringer. And they can turn to market resources to invest and share in the returns.  Or, they can call out the abuse directly by going to the media, providing evidence to. enable government enforcement, and by proving the harm in their own lawsuits.
