You may be able to find the patent information you seek using the Patent Office's website:

uspto.gov

Public companies often like to boast that they own patents, but usually that doesn't really indicate their competitive worth. Unless a patent stops others from acheiving a certain commerical aim, they're worth little or nothing -- they may, for example, describe a process for which other processes exist; or describe a type of matter for which a non-infringing sort of matter can achieve an equal or better result.

I'm not putting down GTSM -- I own some -- but in general, boasts about patents is more often hype than not. 'Course if the boast gets the company some attention, I'm all for it.... :)
