About number of claims in Patstat

A valuable piece of information contained in TLS212_pat_publn is the number of claims.

This info also can change with the publication status, following the examination procedure that may reduce their number.

Unfortunately this info is availabe only for EP and US published patents. Citing the Patstat data handbook:
"Data sources for number of claims: The number of claims for EPO and US publications are taken from special data feeds directly from EP and USPTO."
