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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * *• if the claims fail to adequately define inventive' features by proper limitations, they are not allowable even though the device would support patentable claims.” Application of Launder, supra 222 F.2d at 375-376.”
