Explanation of fields:

# The country must be the two letter country code, e.g. "US" or "WO" (for international patent applications)
# Do not put commas in patent number
# Applications must be identified by publication number
# Add " | title = ''title'' " to display the title. '''Required'''
# Add " | status = application " if the citation is a pending application. Preferably include " | status = patent " if a granted patent.
# Add " | assign1 = ''assignee'' " to display the assignee. Increase the numeral for subsequent assignees. Template currently handles two assignees.
# Add " | inventor = ''inventor list'' to provide the inventor names.  Displayed by the template but not used to generate [[#COinS|COinS]] meta data. If {{para|inventor}} is present but blank, no inventor names will be displayed, even if {{para|invent1}} contains a name.
# Add " | invent1 = ''inventor last name'', ''inventor first name'' " to provide the inventor name. Displayed by the template and also used to generate [[#COinS|COinS]] meta data. Increase the numeral for subsequent inventors. Template currently handles four inventors.
# Add " | pubdate = <nowiki>YYYY-MM-DD</nowiki> " to provide the publication date of an application. This is only displayed if "status=application" is included. For granted patents, use gdate. '''Required if "status=application"'''.
# Add " | gdate = <nowiki>YYYY-MM-DD</nowiki> " to provide the date of grant of a patent. Is displayed unless "status=application" is included. Preferentially include "status=patent" to confirm that the patent is granted, but this is not required. '''Required unless "status=application"'''.
# Add " | pridate = <nowiki>YYYY-MM-DD</nowiki> " to provide the (earliest) priority date. Not displayed, but could be useful to include for future reference. Including multiple priorities unnecessarily complicated.
# Add " | fdate = <nowiki>YYYY-MM-DD</nowiki> " to provide the filing date. Not displayed, but used to generate [[#COinS|COinS]] meta data and may prove useful in future.
# Add " |class=''ECLA classification'' " to provide the [http://v3.espacenet.com/eclasrch ECLA classification]. Not displayed, but could be useful to include for future reference. Might be possible to automatically link to the relevant classification in future, but urls are complex.
