Portfolio overview

TE Connectivity Italia Distribution S.r.l has been granted 22 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing TE Connectivity Italia Distribution S.r.l at #13,722 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 18 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 17.3 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 Italia Distribution S.r.l is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TE sits between Sunrun Inc. (22 patents, rank #13,715) and Thermoflex Corporation (22 patents, rank #13,723) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 45.4/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 22 total grants over that period. 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 Italia Distribution S.r.l's 17.3 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.
