Portfolio overview

Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited has been granted 974 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited at rank #461 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 60 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.0 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 Foreign Corporation, Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Foxconn sits between AGC Inc. (988 patents, rank #457) and Lenovo Enterprise Solutions (singapore) PTE. Ltd. (957 patents, rank #465) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 59.8/100 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 344 grants, compared with 630 in the 2015–2019 window, a -45% 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. Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited's 14.0 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 60 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Foxconn Interconnect Technology Limited against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio

Foxconn's 974 grants land it in the top 4% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.

  • Read that count against the largest US assignees before treating it as dominance - Foxconn ranks #461 of 50,000. Top 50 holders
  • Most of this portfolio concentrates in H01R - see who else leads that technology area. H01R leaders
  • Check what the four-part Innovation Score actually rewards before comparing it to another company. How the score works

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.
