Pressure to preserve or possess exclusivity

How do you think this case would be made?  How do you determine that the only possible reason for an action is "pressure to preserve".

Difficult to show in court yet we know its there.the eg. dexfenfluramine case could be pinned on  plain greed(companies fault) or on 'pressure to patent'(societies fault).depends which stance the lawyer takes.he can harness jury fears very nicely either way.the ideal outcome from such a case would be new national regulations on drug-patent procedure or safety testing standards.such regulations could have backlash though for research

Not talking about court.  How does an action only and ever indicate a desire to preserve a patent?   You don't seem able to say.  Seems like good reason to believe that you don't know what you're talking about.

Motivation.if there's a motive to preserve a patent in that way then by god it will be preserved in that way since it is 'perfectly legal' to do so

That seems very to be a very stupid thing to say.  A motive isn't directly observable.   Can you tell me what you need to observe to determine that something was done for no other reason than to preserve a patent?
