Does more volume mean deeper claims for Lycera?

Each dot is one of Lycera’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). Lycera’s own 29.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
