One other way to ensure you have evidence to the contrary is to use source control. Not only is it good for productivity and disaster recovery, but it shows perfect snapshots of how you developed the code, and the timeline of development. So even if your code *does* end up looking similar, you can show how you independently came up with the similar code.
I agree that using source control is a great defense against false accusations. I've switched to using it for my projects because of that.
