Template:EPO Register/doc

Usage

This template creates an external link to the entry in the European Patent Register for a European patent application or European patent. The minimum information is the application no. for the application using the field "appno=". This is vital as only the application no. will make the link work. The publication no. can be added as well using the field "patno=" and this is displayed by default. Add the field "patent=yes" if the case is a granted patent.

Form

{{EPO Register
  |appno= application number MUST be entered
  |patno= publication number is optional, but is the number displayed if provided
  |patent= enter "yes" if a granted patent, leave blank otherwise
}}

Examples

• {{EPO Register|appno=85304490|patno=0169672|patent=yes}} leads to: European Patent Register entry for European patent no. 0169672
• {{EPO Register|appno=98955098}} leads to: European Patent Register entry for European patent application no. 98955098

To do
