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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The complainants having a patent for an improved burner in combination with a chimney, the defendants have manufactured extensively the burner; leaving the purchasers to supply the chimney, without which such burner is useless. They have done this for the express purpose of assisting, and making profit by assisting, in a gross infringement of the complainants’ patent. They have exhibited their burner furnished with a chimney, using it in their sales rooms to recommend it to customers and prove its superiority, and therefore as a means of inducing the unlawful use of the complainants’ invention.””
