script to copy all the files of an "Online Public File Inspection" page?

[Erik Josefsson]

I used to find nice and clean documents containing EN, DE and FR 
versions of granted EP patents, but I can't find them anymore.

I think it is only necessary to retrieve and save claims of granted 
patents in Gauss (if there is a space problem).
