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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““'This statute is plain and definite. If the mark whieh applicant seeks to register upon goods of the same descriptive properties is the same as an opposer’s registered mark, then the applicant’s mark cannot be registered. It is unimportant what rights others, may have as against the opposer’s mark — the applicant has no right to assert them in such proceeding. The same principle would be applicable to known owned unregistered trade-marks.’ ””
