Patterns for property specification enable non-experts to write formal specifications that can be used for automatic model checking. The existing patterns identified in [Dwyer, M.B., G.S. Avrunin and J.C. Corbett, Property specification patterns for finite-state verification, in: FMSP '98: Proceedings of the second workshop on Formal methods in software practice (1998), pp. 7–15] allow to reason about occurrence and order of events, but not about their timing. We extend this pattern system by patterns related to time. This allows the specification of real-time requirements
