$self->patent->doc_id_standardized

A convenience value of
$self->patent->doc_id_commified
is provided.

In recognizing the values such as CC country, the priority is:

 $self->patent->doc_id as supplied; if absent:
 $self->patent->country; if absent:
 $WWW::Patent::Page::default_country

=cut

=head2 get_page

method to use the modules specific to Offices like USPTO, with methods for each document/page format, etc., and
LWP::Agent to grab the appropriate URLs and if necessary build the response content or produce error values

=cut

=head2 request

Method to override the LWP::UserAgent::request that gets a URL.
This calls LWP::UserAgent::request itself, but around it adds things like a retry (and possibly debugging, like throwing pages to a browser for display). 

=cut


=head2 terms

method to provide a summary or pointers to the terms and conditions of use of the publicly available databases

=head2 _load_modules

internal private method to access helper modules in WWW::Patent::Page

=cut

=head2 _agent

private method to assign default agent

=cut

=head2 _load_country_known

private method to load a big hash and allow it to be folded during code development.

=cut


=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

The accepted tactic is to set $self->{'is_success'} or $self->{'patent'}->{'is_success'} to false and add a message to $self->{'message'} or $self->{'patent'}->{'message'}

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

WWW::Patent::Page requires no configuration files or environment variables.

WWW::Patent::Page makes use of LWP environmental variables such as HTTP_PROXY.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

LWP::UserAgent
HTTP::Response

=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Code contributions, suggestions, and critiques are welcome.

Error handling is undeveloped.

By definition, a non-trivial program contains bugs.

For United States Patents (US) via the USPTO (USPTO), the 'kind' is ignored in method provide_doc
