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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In some few patent eases, beginning with Brooks v. Stolley, 3 McLean, 523 [Fed. Cas. No. 1,962], it has been held that a patentee enjoyed the unusual privilege of treating a breach of covenant as if it of itself worked a forfeiture. No doubt the parties may agree that such an effect shall follow; and this will account for some of the decisions. The others of this sort are overruled by Hartell v. Tilghman, 99 U. S. 547 [ 25 L. Ed. 357 ].””
