What this shows TE's Innovation Score is 45.4/100 (top 23% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for TE?

Each dot is one of TE’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). TE’s own 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where TE's grants concentrate

TE Connectivity Italia Distribution S.R.L is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2022. By volume, TE sits between Sunrun Inc. and Thermoflex Corporation.

TE's three-year grant acceleration

TE Connectivity Italia Distribution S.R.L shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
