Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McGhee et al. v. Le Sage & Co., Inc.
Generally speaking, merely being cited as precedent in other cases is not really enough to confer notability on a reported case.  More than thirty volumes of the Federal Reporter current series are published each year.  Each volume reports around 200-250 cases with published opinions.  Each opinion cites dozens of cases in itself.  Appearance in this medium generally does not confer notability on the underlying litigation or on each case reported or cited; there's just |too many of 'em.  I have no idea whether this particular case is considered a leading case in patent law, the sort of thing like Marbury v. Madison, Chandelor v. Lopus, Pierson v. Post, or Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co. that's widely discussed because of the importance of the principle decided in it
