I want to reference this link in my bibliography. Luckily they have a "BibTeX" export which looks like this:

@misc{tsai2010inline,
title={Inline microphone for earphone},
author={Tsai, D.M.},
url={https://www.google.com/patents/USD608353},
year={2010},
month=jan # "~19",
publisher={Google Patents},
note={US Patent D608,353}
}

Which looks like this:enter image description here

This is strange, since all my other "@misc" reference works fine, except this one. What am I doing wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Rest of the code:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{typearea}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.35} 
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{array,longtable}
\usepackage[font=scriptsize]{caption}
\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}% Just for this example
\usepackage{lipsum}% Just for this example
\usepackage{graphicx,caption}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption}

\begin{document} 

\section{Introduction}

\lipsum

\pagebreak

\patchcmd{\thebibliography}{\section*}{\section}{}{}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{bib}

\end{document}`

    What is wrong with it exactly? May 20, 2017 at 12:51

    Where exactly is the problem? All i can see, is that the `# 19# should probably be removed.

    misc does not add publisher. It never did in the thirty years it is around. url on the other hand is not known to misc in general. urls are usually put in the note or howpublished field.

    biblatex supports an url field for all entry types. It even has some stuff for patents predefined, i think. And if not, it can be added easily.

    "Luckily they have a "BibTeX" export which looks like this:" Don't trust them blindly. You are responsible that the bibtex database entry is correct. And this is dependent on the bibliographystyle as well.

Solved it by manipulating it a little:

@misc{tsai2010inline,
  title={Inline microphone for earphone},
  author={Tsai, D.M.},
  howpublished = "[Online]. Available from: \url{https://www.google.com/patents/USD608353}",
  year={2010},
  month=jan # "~19",
  publisher={Google Patents},
  note={US Patent D608,353}
}
