What this shows TE's Innovation Score is 76.8/100 (top 1% 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.

How TE's grant cadence moved

Grant history spans 2020–2025. Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2023 at 116 grants and bottomed in 2020 at 1. Lead class H01R accounts for 63% of the portfolio across 124 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Power Integrations, Inc. (#1,108) and The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (#1,116).

TE's three-year grant acceleration

TE Connectivity Solutions GmbH shows 271 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
