This template is designed for simple citation of patents. Parameters are passed numerically:
The output is the patent number, and a link pointing to a permalink for the patent chosen. This output should be enclosed within reference tags (<ref>
and </ref>
) in the same way as Template:Cite journal.
Note that patent application numbers are generally different from patent numbers. If you need this, please use the Template:Cite patent template with the optional application parameter.
Examples:
