Festo Corp. v. Shoketsu Kinzoku Kogyo Kabushiki Co. (2002)
Narrow your claim during prosecution and you presumptively give up the equivalents in between. The presumption is rebuttable, but in practice the prosecution history is a defendant's gold mine.
eBay Inc. v. MercExchange (2006)

How to obtain a patent
The USPTO process takes 2-3 years and costs $10,000-$15,000. The patent that comes out the other end is only as valuable as your willingness to spend much more enforcing it.
