I think you're looking for the patent search engine at http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html . Be warned that patent entries are not for the faint of heart.

On a similar note, I found some unfamiliar trademarks for "Rendezvous" and "Offlinert" along with an untitled one for what is apparently a sound effect. Gigawire still remains up there.

I think that the closest you'll get to that is http://tess.uspto.gov . Unfortunatly trademards usually aren't entered until the day after MW and Patent applications only make sense to those with PhDs in engineering. If there was a list like that we would be ALL over it.

I went through the patents and found an interesting one from July 4th:
Keyboard arrangement
Abstract:

The invention generally pertains to a computing device. More particularly, the invention pertains to an improved keyboard arrangement for use in the computing device. One aspect of the invention pertains to a movable keyboard that can be opened or removed to gain easy access to internal components of the computing device. Another aspect of the invention pertains to a magnetic keyboard securing system suitable for holding the movable keyboard relative to the computing device. The invention is particularly useful in computing devices such as portable computers.


Maybe an easy-access door for the TiBook that doubles as a keyboard?
