Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““For the purpose of this case the commissioner’s decision is final that the drawings and the model required by the statute has been presented; that Durgin was the duly constituted attorney of the applicant or his assignee, and had authority to amend or alter the specification; and that the specification had been sufficiently sworn to by the inventor. If the patent is invalid by reason of any or all of these defects, its invalidity is to be determined in a proceeding to set aside the patent by scire facias, or by bill or information [citing Seymour v. Osborne, 11 Wall. 516 , 20 L. Ed. 33 ; Jackson v. Lawton, 10 Johns. 23 , 6 Am. Dec. 311 ].” Page 599, 1 Fed.”
