But what if . . . ?

Considerations

• At eLife, the minimum information for this reference type is:
  • Inventors
  • Year
  • Patent title
  • Patent source
  • Patent number
• Assignees, Patent country and URL are optional.

XML requirements

eLife uses the attribute publication-type="patent".

<element-citation publication-type="patent">
    <person-group person-group-type="inventor">
      <name>
        <surname>Onoda</surname> <given-names>T</given-names>
      </name>
      ...
    </person-group>
    <year iso-8601-date="2015">2015</year>
    <article-title>Imidazopyridine Derivative</article-title>
    <source>World Intellectual Property Organization</source>
    <patent country="Japan">2015087996</patent>
    <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2015087996A1/en">https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2015087996A1/en</ext-link>
  </element-citation>

eLife allows the following children of element-citation[@publication-type="patent"]:

• person-group
• year
• article-title
• source
• patent
• ext-link

person-group has the attribute person-group-type="inventor" and can contain child name or collab.

It would make sense to mandate the following elements:

• person-group[@person-group-type="inventor"] (containing at least one name or collab)
• year
• article-title
• source
