Does more volume mean deeper claims for Tyco?
Each dot is one of Tyco’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Tyco’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Tyco's grants concentrate
Tyco Electronics UK Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 48 CPC subclasses with 47.6% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (14 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, Tyco sits between Suncor Energy Inc. and Ultravision Technologies, LLC.
Tyco's three-year grant acceleration
Tyco Electronics UK Ltd shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
