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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““One of two things in this case seems to us plain: Either the mechanism of 1890, upon which rliese broad claims are based, was a mere experiment, inoperative and impracticable, and as such supplanted by the Iliett patent, coining some six years later, or else, for the purposes of the broad claims allowed, the mechanism of 1890 was operative and practical, and therefore abandoned or lost through the eight years of inaction that followed.””
