Portfolio overview
CommScope Telecommunications (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has been granted 47 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing CommScope Telecommunications (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. at rank #6,996 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 10 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 16.6 claims per patent with primary concentration in G02B (OPTICAL ELEMENTS, SYSTEMS OR APPARATUS). As a Foreign Corporation, CommScope Telecommunications (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 36.4/100 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 34 grants, compared with 13 in the 2015–2019 window — a +162% 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. CommScope Telecommunications (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.'s 16.6 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 10 subclasses points to a focused technical program.
