Does more volume mean deeper claims for Loma?

Each dot is one of Loma’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). Loma’s own 19.4 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.
