Portfolio overview

Foxconn (kunshan) Computer Connector Co., Ltd. has been granted 242 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Foxconn (kunshan) Computer Connector Co., Ltd. at rank #1,698 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 24 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 13.8 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 (kunshan) Computer Connector Co., Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Foxconn sits between Korea Institute OF Industrial Technology (243 patents, rank #1,694) and Lextar Electronics Corporation (241 patents, rank #1,702) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 51.9/100 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 231 grants, compared with 11 in the 2015–2019 window, a +2000% 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. Foxconn (kunshan) Computer Connector Co., Ltd.'s 13.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 24 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Foxconn (kunshan) Computer Connector Co., Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
