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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[O]ur predecessor court had on several prior occasions interpreted the term “integral” to cover more tha[n] a unitary construction. See, e.g., In re Kohno, 55 C.C.P.A. 998 , 391 F.2d 959 , 157 USPQ 275 (CCPA 1968), In re Dike, 55 C.C.P.A. 1172 , 394 F.2d 584 , 157 USPQ 581 (CCPA 1968), In re Larson, 52 C.C.P.A. 930 , 340 F.2d 965 , 144 USPQ 347 (CCPA 1965), and In re Clark, 41 C.C.P.A. 974 , 214 F.2d 148 , 102 USPQ 241 (CCPA 1954). This court has also endorsed that interpretation. See, e.g., Advanced Cardiovascular Sys. v. Scimed Life Sys., 887 F.2d 1070, 1074 (Fed.Cir.1989) (nothing of record limited “integral” to mean “of one-piece” construction).”
