Suijuris,
If it's not too much trouble you might want to take just the cites with a brief description, edit into verified and unverified and keep a running list in the first post in this thread.

Or maybe one of us could keep watch here, sort'em and keep a doc updated in the download area.

When I get to it I will post some cites I have here. I haven't verified but I have a list a half a mile long on papers scattered in several locations. Some from the Johnson Recordings Yadu mentioned. (I listened to Johnson a year or so ago and the time is well spent for the education received).

Others are from surfing, purchase of reading materials, and random searches on findlaw. I have no access to lexis or westlaw to shepardize the cases but will try to get the case sites here with a brief description soon.

All else was still within the disposition of the US until Patented when the US transferred all rights into private ownership/propritery title.
We get taxed by state giving title insurance against someone trying to take our property. If you can trace a clear title of ownership through assigns to the patent you need no title insurance because you can successfully assert clear title to the land and defent so in court.
