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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) ... Whoever marks upon ... in connection with any unpatented article, the word “patent” or any word or number importing that the same is patented, for the purpose of deceiving the public; Shall be fined not more than $ 500 for every such offense. (b) Any person may sue for the penalty, in which event one-half shall go to the person suing and the other to the use of the United States.”
