Do you really imply that it's easier for the company to check all outside patents then their own patents ? They should check every line of code anyway because they should not ship anything with technologies patented by others. If they can not even check violations of their own patents - it's clear indication that the while patent mess is beyond repair... and it's also means that corporations are quite ready to ship product with unlicensed technology as long as they are not caught...
