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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[O]ne copying a claim from a patent for the purpose of instituting interference proceedings must show that his application clearly supports the count. There must be no doubt that an application discloses each and every material limitation of the claims and all doubts must be resolved against the copier.... [W]here support must be based on an inherent disclosure, it is not sufficient that a person following the disclosure might obtain the result set forth in the counts; it must inevitably happen.”
