It had to be a big guy. A little guy would not have the resources to fight off the most valuable corporation in the world. Apple could spend hundreds of millions in legal fees and it would be a rounding error on their financials. Apple could literally hire every lawyer in the US and the EU, pay them their normal rates, and treat the entire expense as an immaterial item on their annual financials. There are few companies in the world with the resources to fight Apple, and fewer still with the willingness (or reason) to do so.
