No, large companies are generally scrupulous about licensing patents. Infringing a patent makes it valuable, and thus worth selling to a competitor or underwriting by a venture capitalist. Nobody wants to have the billion dollar product that is enjoined from sale.

Usually big companies have cross-licensing agreements between competitors (since they usually can't do a product without each other's technologies - example: hard drive companies) Also, it's easier for them to come up with a way of not infringing the patent in the first place.
