Remember, though, I'm not a patent attorney ~ just worked with a couple of them for 20 years in my 4 decade long career.

Their lunchtime lectures were always quite illuminating. Made the bizarre seem unbelievable.

The standards of proof differ between patents and copyright. With patents, you do not have to show your own actual code--merely the infringing code.

With copyright, you must show the original work and prove it came before the alleged copy. Your description of a crime in post #24 is a description of proving copyright infringement--not patent violation.
