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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Defendants cannot escape liability for infringement. They are making, and putting upon the market, an article which, of necessity, to their knowledge, is to be used for the purpose of infringing the complainant’s patent. They thereby concert with those to whom they sell the blocks to invade the complainant’s rights. They are intentional promoters of the ultimate act of infringement””
