Crie uma referência precisa em Harvard
General rules
Different citation styles require giving different information when referencing a patent: the details of the applicant or the inventor, the date of application or publication, etc. Based on the recommendations of a number of British and other universities as regards bibliographic references to patents under the Harvard citation style, we advise using the following template for your reference:
Applicant(s), (year). Patent title. Inventor(s): Inventor(s). Date of publication. Appl: date of application. Country Patent patent number.
NB: Give only the day and month in the 'Date of publication' field; give the day, month, and year in the 'date of application' field.
For details on how to give authors' names under the Harvard referencing system, see this article.
For a patent available online, use the following template:
Applicant(s), (year). Patent title [online]. Inventor(s): Inventor(s). Date of publication. Appl: date of application. Country Patent patent number. [Viewed date viewed]. Available from: URL
With the help of the online service Grafiati, you can reference a patent in a bibliography in accordance with the templates above automatically, by filling in only several fields.
