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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To constitute reduction to practice of a complex mechanical device as the basis for awarding priority of invention, the law requires a preponderance of evidence in an interference proceeding to the effect that the device was subjected to a test under actual working conditions which demonstrated not that the device might work, but that it actually did work.” (Emphasis added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The memories of men are too treacherous to admit of blind reliance upon them, and of all the records which it seems that the appellant * * * might have produced in the way of documentary evidence, tending to support the alleged dates, nothing really helpful was produced. It seems to have been a case in which the effort was to see how little, rather than how much, could be proven.””
