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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Where a device is presented in an application essentially only by means of a labeled rectangle, with no other description or illustration of specific circuitry, it must be one of known conventional nature in the prior art in order that such presentation be regarded as a sufficient disclosure. Ex parte Sziklai, 110 USPQ 325 . [Bd.] ****** “Merely to say that such apparatus-as in the periodical items could be modified to produce such frequency of operation, without definite and positive establishment that in the light of the circuit parameters involved this operation could be obtained, would seem to us to merely beg the question and fall far short of the adequacy of disclosure necessary to enable one skilled in the art to practice the invention at issue.””
