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.
““The process therein claimed applies to ‘the art of mixing molten metal.’ By the use of the more general term ‘molten metal,’ it seems to us that the inventor intended to and did broaden his claim so as to include in it the treatment of all molten metals, whether drawn from the furnace or cupola. The natural meaning of the words ‘molten metal’ .would require that construction, and it appears from the record that it is in accordance not only with the definition of the works furnished by scientific lexicographers and those skilled in the art, but with the understanding of the inventor himself.””
