=== Usage ===
This template is designed for simple citation of patents. Parameters are passed numerically:

#The prefix of the organization publishing the patent, examples are
#*'''US''': [[U.S. Patent Office]]
#*'''EP''': [[European Patent Organisation]] (under the [[European Patent Convention]])
#*'''WO''': [[World Intellectual Property Organisation]] (under the [[United Nations]])
#*'''DE''': [[Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt]]
# The patent or patent application number (no punctuation is allowed at this time)
# string "application" (optional third parameter)
# Patent publication data such as author name and title (this does not affect the generated URL)

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 (<code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code>) in the same way as [[Template:cite]].

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:'''
* '''<code><nowiki>{{patent|US|6556992}}</nowiki></code>''' results in
: {{patent|US|6556992}}

* '''<code><nowiki>{{patent|US|6556992|"Method and system for rating patents and other intangible assets."}}</nowiki></code>''' results in
: {{patent|US|6556992|"Method and system for rating patents and other intangible assets."}}

* '''<code><nowiki>{{patent|DE|19734511|application|B. Kämmerer, C, Maggioni, H. Röttger/SIEMENS AG: "Kommunikationseinrichtung" filing date 08.08.1997}}</nowiki></code>''' results in
: {{patent|DE|19734511|application|B. Kämmerer, C, Maggioni, H. Röttger/SIEMENS AG: "Kommunikationseinrichtung" filing date 08.08.1997}}

* '''<code><nowiki>{{patent|DE|19734511|application}}</nowiki></code>''' results in
: {{patent|DE|19734511|application}}
