You want to drag the big company in front of the court of public opinion.
If your patent is perfectly nailed, then your version of the story will win.
In short you gotta have something to show to the journalists and lawyers who are your allies because they want to be the guys bringing down the behemoth and win the Pulitzer/lawyer of the year award.
If you don't have anything they won't write your story and they won't defend you.
Once the story is out there the entire public opinion will be on your side and you are looking at the very least at a hefty settlement which the behemoth would pay you in order to make the story go away.
A patent is a checkpoint for an individual inventor or a small startup
