Portfolio overview

Flextronics Automotive, Inc. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2015 and 2017, placing Flextronics Automotive, Inc. at rank #24,348 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 16 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 15.7 claims per patent with primary concentration in H01F (MAGNETS; INDUCTANCES; TRANSFORMERS; SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR THEIR MAGNETIC PROPERTIES). As a US Corporation, Flextronics Automotive, Inc. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Flextronics sits between First Wave Bio, Inc. (11 patents, rank #24,344) and Flospine, Llc (11 patents, rank #24,352) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 32.2/100 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 0 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a -100% 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. Flextronics Automotive, Inc.'s 15.7 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 16 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Flextronics Automotive, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
