Does more volume mean deeper claims for Commonwealth?

Each dot is one of Commonwealth’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Commonwealth’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
