// Patent helper was written by Johan Stigwall
// Release history
// 2006-03-20 First simple version with links between EPO and USPTO, and links to EPO PDFs. Also fetches USPTO titles for USPTO references and adds EPO-links for references
// 2006-03-21 Better EPO patent number retrieval (from URL instead of page), automatically hyperlinks patents in the EPO description and "also published as" on EPO.
// 2006-03-21b Hyperlinking of inventor names and applicants at EPO
