Alternatively, X ... is at liberty to offer evidence/proof
You don't give the context, but I would expect it to be: The situation is ABC, but if the respondent disagrees with that, the respondent is at liberty to produce evidence that there are alternatives even with regard to the form of the product, which results from technical necessity (or something like that).
If that is your context, I am happy with my suggestion!

Note from asker:
Thanks, it's a patent fight over a shaped which has been trademarked and if alternatives exist then one need not use the trademarked shape otherwise if the shape is technically required/qualified/conditional/dependent then others may use the trademarked shape |
