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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It may be that appellant has disclosed a starting apparatus corresponding in a general way to that covered by the Chryst patent. The two structures may function in substantially the same manner. However, this court ought not to so construe the involved claims as to disregard expressly defined limitations contained therein. Nor does the general rule, holding that, in eases of this character, the language of the claims shall be given the broadest construction, or interpretation, as the case may be, as it will reasonably permit, warrant a disregard of expressly defined limitations. Slattery v. Larner, 36 F.(2d) 298 , 17 C. C. P. A. 725 .””
