Portfolio overview

Delphi Technologies has been granted 451 US utility patents between 2015 and 2024, placing Delphi Technologies at rank #973 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 145 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 12.1 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 US Corporation, Delphi Technologies is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Delphi sits between Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (453 patents, rank #969) and Avery Dennison Retail Information Services Llc (449 patents, rank #977) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 53.7/100 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 13 grants, compared with 438 in the 2015–2019 window, a -97% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. The US 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's 12.1 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, 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 Delphi Technologies 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.
