I agree - it's best to not let your enemy frame the debate. And agreeing to points is certainly not going to help your case.
That said, there is lots you can say. This is my favorite example of a great smackdown response from a small cable manufacturer to Monster cable who claimed design infringement. Turns out the owner of the cable company was a retired lawyer. It's long - but educational. Here's a sample of what's inside:
"If you sue me, the case will go to judgment, and I will hold the court's attention upon the merits of your claims--or, to speak more precisely, the absence of merit from your claims--from start to finish. Not only am I unintimidated by litigation; I sometimes rather miss it."
