I may just be a bit slow today, but I fail to see how a patent obtained by a small company can not also be defensive.
Of course it answers your question. The answer is that there is no answer. You simply have no way of knowing whether a given patent will be used defensively or offensively, ethically or unethically. Like any good monster it has a life of its own.
