Portfolio overview

Delphi Technologies IP Limited has been granted 243 US utility patents between 2018 and 2025, placing Delphi Technologies IP Limited at rank #1,693 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 83 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in F02M (SUPPLYING COMBUSTION ENGINES IN GENERAL WITH COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURES OR CONSTITUENTS THEREOF). As a Foreign Corporation, Delphi Technologies IP Limited is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Delphi sits between Umicore Ag & Co. KG (244 patents, rank #1,689) and Canon Finetech Nisca Inc. (242 patents, rank #1,697) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 57.0/100 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 164 grants, compared with 79 in the 2015–2019 window, a +108% 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. Delphi Technologies IP Limited's 14.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 83 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Delphi Technologies IP Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
