The verdict
Tyco holds 11 US patents across 8 technology areas, rank #25,428 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
Tyco Electronics (suzhou) Ltd. has been granted 11 US utility patents between 2019 and 2025, placing Tyco Electronics (suzhou) Ltd. at rank #25,428 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 8 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.2 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 (suzhou) Ltd. is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Tyco sits between Trident Limited (11 patents, rank #25,424) and UFP Industries, Inc. (11 patents, rank #25,432) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.5/100 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 10 grants, compared with 1 in the 2015–2019 window, a +900% shift in five-year velocity. An acceleration of this magnitude signals aggressive R&D investment and expanding technical ambition. 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 (suzhou) Ltd.'s 18.2 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while concentration in 8 subclasses points to a focused technical program. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Tyco Electronics (suzhou) Ltd. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
Tyco's 11 grants land it in the top 15% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
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.
