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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In our view, the plain language of Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to the party’s case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“We are reluctant to expand the scope of § 43(a) to cover the situation presented here. [Plaintiffs] claim is not consistent with the Lanham Act’s purpose of preventing individuals from misleading the public by placing their competitor’s work forward as their own. In spite of the similarities ... the likelihood that the two [scripts] will be confused is minimal. We decline to expand the scope of the Lanham Act to cover cases in which the Federal Copyright Act provides an adequate remedy.”
