Portfolio overview
Commscope Connectivity UK Limited has been granted 83 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing Commscope Connectivity UK Limited at rank #4,284 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.2 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, Commscope Connectivity UK Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Commscope sits between Brien Holden Vision Institute Limited (83 patents, rank #4,280) and Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc. (83 patents, rank #4,288) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 46.8/100 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 33 grants, compared with 50 in the 2015–2019 window, a -34% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Commscope Connectivity UK Limited's 19.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Commscope Connectivity UK Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
