Add-on summary

This solution allows you to quickly open Espacenet for a selected (application or patent) publication number.

Select a publication number in text, then open the context menu (right mouse click) and select "Open Espacenet for ..." from the menu. For example, selection of "EP2153185," and then "Open Espacenet for EP2153185" from the context menu, opens a new tab to the URL https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/?q=EP2153185.

Note that in the absence of a country code prefix, there is no presumption of a country code. Espacenet will disply all documents with the selected publication number.

The extension should work for any webpage loaded after the initial installation of the extension, as long as JavaScript is enabled. The extension is provided 'As-it-is' without any express or implied warranty of any kind.

Note that I do not collect any information from the extension -- all handling is done at your local browser.

Enjoy! /Stiblomat
