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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the Court must consider whether counsel might inadvertently use confidential information obtained in the course of this litigation to shape advice regarding the scope of patent claims as part of the prosecution of patents for any party to this action, to the detriment of the opposing party, its competitor. If so, then such counsel should either be denied access to confidential information or be precluded from patenting for a party.”
