'''{{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}''' links to the online [[USPTO]] patent application and full-text (only after [[1976]] patents). It also provides a PDF transcript of the images as the [[Tagged Image File Format|TIFF]] format cause viewing problems in many browsers.

== Parameters ==
;1 (mandatory): The US patent number '''without''' commas, commas will be inserted by the template. While the USPTO parser ignores commas other services (notably [http://www.google.com/patents Google Patents]) cannot handle them. For design or reissued patents prefix with <code>D</code> or <code>RE</code>, respectively; see [http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm Patent Search Help] for the full list.

;2 (optional): Link title. Use <code>&#124;</code> and <code>&#61;</code> for <code>|</code> and <code>=</code>, respectively.

== Examples ==
Code:
<pre>
{{US patent|123456}}
{{US patent|3541541|US3541541}}
{{US patent|4687200|Nintendo's D-pad Patent}}
</pre>
