Webster’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Webster's grants concentrate

Webster Capital, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Webster sits between WatchGuard, Inc. and Westinghouse Electric Germany GmbH.

Webster's three-year grant acceleration

Webster Capital, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
