According to zypper manpage the 'update' command updates the current packages 
with patches:

       list-updates (lu) [options]
              List available updates.

       -t, --type <type>
              Type of package (default: patch). See the beginning  of  this
              subsection for the list of available package types.

       -r, --repo <alias|#|URI>
              List only updates from the repository specified by the alias,
              number or URI.  This option can be used multiple times.

              See also the NOTE at update.

       update (up) [options] [packagename] ...
              Update installed packages  with  patches  or  newer  version,
              where applicable.

              To  update  individual  packages, specify one or more package
              names. You can use the '*' and '?' wildcard characters in the
              package  names to specify multiple packages matching the pat‐
              tern.

              NOTE: Zypper prefers to update only those packages for  which
              a  patch description exists, like on the SUSE update servers.
              To operate on all packages for which there is a  better  ver‐
              sion instead, select --type package which is also the default
              in rug compatibility mode.

There is no such command like "zypper patch" only "zypper patches" which lists 
installed and available patches.


Bye,
Bernd
