What this shows TE Connectivity India Private Limited stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-RICH, TYPE-FRNCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #8,486 of 50,000; Innovation Score 47.4/100 sits in the top 19% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (±0 grants).
TE Connectivity India Private Limited has been granted 38 US utility patents between 2016 and 2025, placing TE Connectivity India Private Limited at #8,486 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.5 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, TE Connectivity India Private Limited is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TE sits between Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (38 patents, rank #8,481) and TMRW Foundation IP S.àr.l. (38 patents, rank #8,489) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 47.4/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 26 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +160% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The Foreign Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. TE Connectivity India Private Limited's 17.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 18 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
