It is still not clear in what way you have statistically corrected the results. You claim that you have done a statistical correction, but this appears to have only been done when analysing the results by assignee, not by patent documentation.

My original claim in the article was that you have not statistically corrected the patent documentation figure of 20% (which is an important figure as it is widely quoted by the BSA).

Please can you clarify how you statistically corrected this figure, and why you did not include details of this statistical correction in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the study paper on the BSA website (http://www.bsa.org/eupolicy/loader.cfm?url=/commonspot/security/getfile.cfm&pageid=25161&hitboxdone=yes).

I look forward to receiving your response.
