The general answer to David's question is "no, but there's a lot of interest". For example, not too long ago, Abe Heifets was asking about similar questions: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~lilien/lilien_projCSP.html
> I think you will find one or two reactions at Daniel Lowe's bitbucket > account: https://bitbucket.org/dan2097/patent-reaction-extraction/downloads I know a number of people have tried extracting reactions from patents. Noel can correct me about Daniel's effort, but I think the patent reactions are generally not abstract or simple. That is, by their nature, they reflect state of the art and specific examples of sometimes flexible reactions. Abe used these too, but commented that he was missing a level of "simple" or intermediate-type reactions. Like if you're learning a language, the patent literature gives you very sophisticated sentences, but you cannot understand the whole of the grammar without the types of reactions given in undergraduate and graduate seminars. I do think there is a tremendous amount of interest in such a database and would be happy to help compile and/or maintain such a resource. I've been focusing on the simplified end (e.g., reactions similar to those linked by David).
