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

Thus, in Star Brass Works V. General Electric Company, 111 IPed. 398, 49 C. O. A. 409. the new location given to the brush which takes off the current from a trolley wheel on street railway cars, which effected a more advantageous transmission of the current and afforded hotter protection to the brush, was patentable.””
