[edit] Combine

This template should be combined with Template:US patent reference and Template:US patent application. — Omegatron 03:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, unless you can provide functionality to allow the user to go to either the USPTO database of the espacenet database as they see fit, which starts making it a somewhat complex template to use. Personally, I would always prefer the espacenet database, but some people might prefer linking to the USPTO, so the US templates have the uses and provide a different function than this template.
