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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If that wrongful act has the additional vice of violating the Federal Anti-Trust Laws as the result of which Standard [the corporation] is required to forfeit its rights to royalties which could otherwise be collected or to pay damages or fines, those losses to Standard are the direct result of defendants' [corporate employees] acts which this court may redress. Any other conclusion would leave Standard remediless for these losses caused by defendants' wrongful acts * * *.”
