Portfolio overview

Tyco Electronics Japan G.k. has been granted 189 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Tyco Electronics Japan G.k. at rank #2,093 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 39 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 14.5 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, Tyco Electronics Japan G.k. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tyco sits between GN Audio A/s (189 patents, rank #2,089) and Beijing Jingdong Shangke Information Technology Co., Ltd. (188 patents, rank #2,097) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 52.0/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 71 grants, compared with 118 in the 2015–2019 window, a -40% shift in five-year velocity. A cooling filing rate may reflect portfolio consolidation, shifting priorities, or reduced R&D throughput. 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. Tyco Electronics Japan G.k.'s 14.5 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a multi-domain presence across 39 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tyco Electronics Japan G.k. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
