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 17.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 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 Sensors Germany GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G01D (Measuring NOT Specially Adapted FOR A Specific VARIABLE; Arrangements FOR Measuring TWO OR More Variables NOT Covered IN A Single Other SUBCLASS; Tariff Metering APPARATUS; Measuring OR Testing NOT OT). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, TE sits between Taiwan Carbon Nano Technology Corporation and Telekom Malaysia Berhad.

TE's three-year grant acceleration

TE Connectivity Sensors Germany GmbH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
