What this shows Amphenol Fiber Optic Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd. stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-NARROW, INNOV-THIN, CLAIMS-SPARSE, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-DROP, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #9,696 of 50,000; Innovation Score 24.7/100 sits in the top 85% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is ADA Carbon Solutions, Llc (±0 grants).
Amphenol Fiber Optic Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has been granted 32 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Amphenol Fiber Optic Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd. at #9,696 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 5 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 7.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Amphenol Fiber Optic Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Amphenol sits between ADA Carbon Solutions, Llc (32 patents, rank #9,687) and Ateme (32 patents, rank #9,695) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 24.7/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 11 grants, compared with 20 in the 2015–2019 window, a -45% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Amphenol Fiber Optic Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd.'s 7.3 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 5 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
