Summary: This button functions within the Markush data infrastructure. When the button is placed on an Inventions form, it will fetch all the patents associated with the selected invention. From there, it determines the master patent and offers to launch the webpage associated with the patent, or providing a combination of patent websites and patents from the invention. It also provides links to a variety of patent repositories for other countries.
This script is a good example of using SwingBuilder and GridBagLayout to make clean input pop-ups. This button is on a query form, a dataTree with the necessary table containing the invention information as a secondary child (VMNS is a child of Query/root and Inventions is a child of VMNS). This is also a nice example for finding and using nested child tables.
/** Patent Fetcher
*
* Usage: Button on a Query form in the Markush Demo Data set, which has the edges of VMNS and then Inventions.
* It can be adapted to other dataTrees by locating the Inventions table among the dataTree
