OK, the USPTO has some searchable data, apparently, including assignees. PlainSite seems to have hoovered it all in and made it better, and built a searchable tool tracking all 2000+ of Intellectual Ventures' trolling shells.
I intend to duplicate that effort, with notes in four-part harmony.
The creation of Depatenting.com

Peer To Patent
The UK Patent Office has an online site for patent commentary and prior art research. This should be checked for functionality that might make sense to me.
This effort is going rather slowly; I've been busy!

Patent database
Here's a "world patent database" in Chinese: [list] [patent] Interesting cross-referencing going on there. Makes me want to scrape the whole thing. (They might notice, of course.)
Progress thus far
CSS and HTML work perfectly in the Decl context now (if somewhat primitively) and so the building blocks for Websites are in place. I can even emit PHP in the right places, and collect Javascript and CSS into centrally organized files.
What I'm working on now is the macro/template system. This is the meat of the thing, and arguably the second Really Big Part of the Decl system. (The first being its very nature as an easily parsed, concise language for the construction of complex data structures.)
The macro system will essentially be the way that Decl can impose structure on any textual language, and it's going to be the way we build abstractions of site features (like "user signon system" or "forum") and page features (like "newsbox" or "navigation menu").
In other words, the project itself has now started.

Got restarted on CSS today
I know, I know, most of the action isn't even Depatenting-related; I'm still working on infrastructure.

FreePatentsOnline has added journals, many with full text, to its search tool.

Article One Partners
Article One Partners has the crowdsourcing aspect already in place. I don't see an open community, which is more what I hope to do (provide a place for the hacker community to see and make news about patents), but they're definitely competition. (No reason I couldn't index them, of course.)
