How is the US patent registry easy to search ? I would be curious to see the patent registration of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. One way or another, I do fully expect every of those companies to try to fill these kinds of "almost for sure invalid and overturnable" patent as a way to defend themselves from every other actor (the classic "Oh I infringed on your patent ? Well here are some of MY patent you are infringing on, so let's call it a day").
Believe it or not, but law offices make heavy use of https://patents.google.com/
This is markedly better than the USPTO website, FWIW.
https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/ try this
This is the official search by the way for anybody wondering. It mirrors the internal examiner tool.

EPO has Espacenet, which hasn't been mentioned yet. I find it the best of the free patent search tools, ymmv.
