The United States Patent and Trademark Office has their own website where all patents, besides those recently filed, can be browsed. They have a well-maintained and easily searchable database of patents starting from the year 1790.
Patents are covered by federal statutes. In the USA they are in Title 35 US Code. Each country has its own laws.
Ford does not own Cummins or Cummins "patents". If they were Cummins patents they would belong to Cummins. Cummins may well license patents from Ford, cross-licensing is common in industry, and there would be nothing unusual in that. Ford did own some Cummins stock in the past, but Cummins is an independent company with plants all over the world. This is a rumor that has circulated for years, partly because of an old internet hoax. Ford does use a Cummins in one of their heavy duty trucks, I believe, but their main source of heavy duty diesels is International.
