Portfolio overview

Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd. has been granted 1,766 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd. at rank #231 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 126 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 8.3 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01R (ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS; STRUCTURAL ASSOCIATIONS OF A PLURALITY OF MUTUALLY-INSULATED ELECTRICAL CONNECTING ELEMENTS; COUPLING DEVICES; CURRENT COLLECTORS). As a Foreign Corporation, Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Autonetworks sits between Wistron Corporation (1,775 patents, rank #227) and ZF Friedrichshafen Ag (1,756 patents, rank #235) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 61.0/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.

Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 1,181 grants, compared with 585 in the 2015–2019 window, a +102% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. The Foreign Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.

Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd.'s 8.3 average claims per patent suggests focused, narrowly drawn claims typical of single-invention filings, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Autonetworks Technologies, Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
