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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Rev. St §§ 973, 4922 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, pp. 703. 3396], which provide that a plaintiff or complainant recovering judgment or decree for infringement of part of a patent shall not recover costs, where the claims of the patent were too broad, and no disclaimer was entered before suit, do not apply to the costs in an appellate court, where the decree below dismissing the suit is found erroneous, and the complainant was compelled to appeal to obtain the relief •to which he was entitled.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The effect of these provisions is to save the claims which are valid if they are definitely distinguishable from those parts of the patent claimed without right, whether there has been a disclaimer or not. But, if there has been no disclaimer entered in the Patent Office before suit brought, it is specifically provided that the patentee shall not recover any costs.””
