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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““But, it is argued by counsel for appellants Walsh and Caprio that the counts in issue relate broadly to the use of vinyl compounds; that in appellee’s application but one of the vinyl compounds is disclosed; that he is not entitled to claims in a patent which cover the entire group of such compounds; and that, therefore, he is not entitled to make the claims constituting the counts in issue. “Each of the counts in issue relates to a method of uniting articles by interposing a vinyl compound between the surfaces of such articles. Appellee clearly discloses the use of a vinyl compound for such purpose. Obviously then, he is entitled in an inter-Terence proceeding to make counts which are sufficiently broad to include the vinyl compound which he discloses. Blodgett and Hanson v. Richter, 79 F.2d 922 , 23 C.C.P.A., Patents, 749. “If appellee is the prior inventor of the use of one of the vinyl compounds in the involved method of uniting articles, certainly appellants Walsh and Caprio are not entitled to a patent for the use of all vinyl compounds.””
