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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ . . . We agree with the conclusion of the District Judge that under the circumstances the plaintiff, which seeks no recovery for past infringement, did not forfeit the right to prohibit the continued misappropriation of its property in the future. It is settled that the mere delay in seeking relief is no bar to an injunction when the infringer has had knowledge of the fact that he is infringing and has deliberately set out to capitalize on the good will of the owner Indeed it has been held that mere delay will not forfeit the right to injunction whether the infringer had been innocent or fraudulent, for the misuse of the owner’s property is the same in either case and the infringer must show good reason why he should not be stopped.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he courts have had to decide in each case upon its peculiar circumstances whether the greater equity lay in the enforcement of the right of the trade-mark owner to exclusive use of the name or in the recognition of the substantial business that the infringer may have built up in reliance upon the owner’s inaction.”
