Portfolio overview

TE Connectivity Solutions Gmbh has been granted 381 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing TE Connectivity Solutions Gmbh at rank #1,112 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 124 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 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 Solutions Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TE sits between Power Integrations, Inc. (384 patents, rank #1,108) and The United States Of America As Represented By The Administrator Of The National Aeronautics And Space Administration (380 patents, rank #1,116) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 76.8/100 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 381 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 Solutions Gmbh's 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark TE Connectivity Solutions Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
