Template:Citeref patent

[edit] Template documentation

Usage

Used together with {{Ref patent}}, this template will create an internal link to the "ref patent" entry elsewhere in the article. Usage is therefore similar to {{harvnb}}.

{{Citeref patent | country | number }}

You may also use the following optional parameters:

loc = location in patent, outputted in full

p = page number, outputted as "p. [page number]"

pp = range of pages, outputted as "pp. [range of pages]"

Notes

• The first parameter is the country of the patent.
• The second parameter is the number of the patent.
• The parameters, loc p and pp are optional parameters (e.g., "{{ Citeref patent | US | 5756789 | p=2 }}" yields US patent 5756789, p. 2).
• If a parameter Ref=none is added, then no hyperlink is created.
