Does more volume mean deeper claims for Huawei?

Each dot is one of Huawei’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). Huawei’s own 17.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
