A future update will also handle documents from other jurisdictions such as DE. - FreePatentsOnline - Espacenet We do our best to present the claims trees and information correctly, but we cannot guarantee results because the supported websites are dynamic and often changing. The extension is provided ‘As-Is’ without any express or implied warranty of any kind. The extension should work for a webpage loaded after the initial installation of the extension, as long as JavaScript is enabled. Note that no information is collected or transmitted from the extension -- all webpage information handling is done only at your local browser in the extension.
