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.

1. ““Defendant objects to this interrogatory because it relates to damages and the ‘usual procedure in patent cases is to defer consideration of damages until after the patent in suit has been held valid.’ “Defendant does not allege that the information requested would reveal matters of a confidential business nature to a competitor, or that the mere furnishing of information as to the number of gaskets sold over a certain period of time would be burdensome or oppressive. The authority cited by defendant relates to postponement of an accounting, which is apt to be far more time consuming than merely reporting numbers of units sold.””
