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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * It is also not to be forgotten that the eighteenth corner called for in the patent is not only a chestnut, which is a natural object, but it is stated to be ‘on top of the mountain.’ And, although there should be a chestnut at the eighteenth corner, as claimed by appellant, suiting the description in the patent, still unless it was located on top of the mountain, or practically so, it could not possibly be the one called for in the patent at this point. By showing a chestnut to be at this corner, or near there, and on top of the mountain, appellees, at least in this respect, have produced testimony ‘mountain high’ in support of their claim.”-”
