without them defending previously

AFAIK this is only a thing in the US? In many jurisdictions you are not beholden to actively defending your patent or you might lose it. You're just required to pay the fees to uphold it, and well, if you want to drag someone to court you might have some extra hoops to jump through (for example over here you need to prove it was used in an intentional manner and to generate profit).
