Does more volume mean deeper claims for Honor?
Each dot is one of Honor’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). Honor’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
How Honor's grant cadence moved
Grant history spans 2021–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 161 grants and bottomed in 2021 at 36.
