Does more volume mean deeper claims for Credo?

Each dot is one of Credo’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). Credo’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
