#221 Patent entry type

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I wish I could use @patent as an entry type since it
is a type of reference which is often encountered in my
field (Chemistry & Chemical Engineering)
Thank for the great job you did developping JabRef.

Why don't you define it as a custom entry type?

For a possible addition in future versions: what are the
required and optional fields for this entry type?

Hi,
I had the very same problem, and I found that the use of
@PATENT entry type is not recommended.
The solution I found most often, and which I currently
adopt, is using the @MISC entry type, storing the patent
number and country in the howpublished field. See the
example below:
@MISC{Quallich2000,
author = {Quallich, George Joseph},
title = {{E}nantioselective oxazaborolidine catalysts},
howpublished = {United States Patent 6,037,505},
month = {March},
year = {2000},
}

I also modified accordingly one of the preview layout.
