Last year I processed a JP Kokai with more than 10,000 claims.

GB 2377301 has 109 figures.
EP 1259930 has 207 figures.

Hope that helps.

Have you thought of those much more challenging
categories:

- Most impenetrable / worst written / least
explanatory / hardest to read/understand
- Most repetitive
- Least grammatical / worst translated

PS: Stephen, earlier correspondence on this
record-breaking thread did
suggest expanding beyond US, the Taiwan 'Jug' patent
was unfortunately
quickly replaced by this very old but interesting
2-char 1836 US
patent:
AX

PPS: A note to contributors: it helps if you can
indicate the patent
number because tracking based on limited lead(s) can
be very painful.
