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

1. ““In the present ease there was no mistake in the wording of the claim of the original patent. The description warranted no other claim; it did not warrant any claim covering the bands not short or sectional. The description in the reissue is not a more clear and satisfactory statement of what* is described in the original patent, but it is a description of a different thing, si) ingeniously worded as to cover collars with continuous long bands, and which have not short or sectional bands. Tlie original patent industriously excluded from its scope the continuous band.””
