Are there any templates or useful packages for writing a patent specification, such as the ones in this collection?

I know about these two. The first one looks good and was successful used by the author for his patent applications. The other one is quite old: it is packed as shell archive and for LaTeX2.09, but works well with a modern LaTeX2e. I can't tell you more about them. All my patent applications had to be written in MS Word.

  • The link suggested above: dodge.stanford.edu/~echmelar/inventions.html (look for "template.tar.gz") is down. Do you know of any other place to find this package? – user6963 Jul 29 '11 at 9:37

  • @Sven: No, I don't. Just give it some time. It might only be a temporar issue. – Martin Scharrer♦ Jul 29 '11 at 15:04

I recently uploaded a new template for drafting U.S. patent applications to CTAN. It should be what you are looking for. Or, Google "uspatent LaTeX LyX CTAN" to find it.
