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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the act or improvement be the mere modification, variation, or carrying forward of the principle involved in a previous invention or discovery, a patent will be denied. No patent should issue, nor will it be valid if issued, for an improvement which is merely a new application of knowledge already possessed by those skilled in the art.” In re Klemm, 21 App. D. C. 186 , 190.”
