How to List Patents on Your CV: A Comprehensive Guide

There are a few ways to format a patent on a CV, but one common method is:

'Title of the patent' 'Patent type (e.g., granted, pending)' 'Patent number' 'Inventors' 'Date filed/granted'

For example:

'Real-time detection system and method for steel plate defects based on embedded edge platforms' 'Invention' 'Patent pending' 'CN201811054969.9' 'Inventors: John Doe, Jane Smith' 'Filed on June 20, 2018'

Alternatively, you can also list the patent under a separate section titled 'Patents' and include a brief description of the invention or its significance. For example:
