eBay's fight against a Virginia company called MercExchange illustrates how small firms swat away at larger ones, at great cost to both. In 2001 MercExchange founder Tom Woolston, a former military pilot and CIA network engineer, sued eBay, claiming that the company infringed on three patents he filed in the mid-'90s, including one that set out methods for fixed-price online auctions (the so-called Buy It Now patent).

The quintet...
