I quickly put together this short animoto-video showing the beta Google Patents, US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and new Xyggy patent search engines, entry page followed by advanced search page. How do they compare in your view, focusing on US granted patents from 1976 onwards?

Looks like 2010 really is shaping up to be the year that having your company docs online really became irrestible, thanks to Google once again with its Google Docs (‘microsoft office if it had way less features, online’) as reported in TechCrunch:
