Portfolio overview
TE CONNECTIVITY SERVICES GMBH has been granted 178 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing TE CONNECTIVITY SERVICES GMBH at rank #2,213 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 80 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.9 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 SERVICES GMBH is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. The composite Innovation Score of 61.3/100 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. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 178 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. 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. TE CONNECTIVITY SERVICES GMBH's 18.9 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 80 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TE CONNECTIVITY SERVICES GMBH against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
