Google patents has just updated their patent search to include some pretty neat features. Once you obtain a list of patents you're interested in, the USPTO.gov site is a pretty good resource, but its searching capability is a little cumbersome. Archpatent.com does a good job of integrating multiple data sets into one search, and also I like the ability to scroll through results and export data to CSV from the search results. There are others but those are the ones I use.
