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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Undoubtedly, the production of the patent alone can in no case raise the presumption in favor of the patentee sufficient to justify the order of a preliminary injunction; and it is perhaps usually true that the most satisfactory basis for finding such a presumption will he in a judicial decision, or in long uninterrupted use. But I am not prepared to say that the' presumption can arise in no other way. It is true that a rule will be found laid down in many eases in terms which, taken by themselves, are broad enough to support the contention of the respondents; but it is also true that in many, if not most, of these eases, the rule is stated more broadly than is necessary to the decision.”
