Will the number of patent application claims change?

yes. If the right to apply for a patent is only required to delete the right item, it will, but it will not go beyond the scope. Patent, literally, refers to the exclusive rights and interests. The word "patent" comes from Latin Litteraepatentes, which means open letters or public documents. It is a certificate used by medieval monarchs to issue certain privileges, and later refers to the exclusive rights certificate signed by the British king himself.
