Does more volume mean deeper claims for Futureplay?

Each dot is one of Futureplay’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). Futureplay’s own 14.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
