Portfolio overview

TYCO FIRE & Security Gmbh has been granted 659 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing TYCO FIRE & Security Gmbh at rank #683 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 124 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 19.0 claims per patent with primary concentration in G08B (SIGNALLING OR CALLING SYSTEMS; ORDER TELEGRAPHS; ALARM SYSTEMS). As a Foreign Corporation, TYCO FIRE & Security Gmbh is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, TYCO sits between Datang Mobile Communications Equipment Co., Ltd. (661 patents, rank #679) and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (655 patents, rank #687) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 78.8/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 405 grants, compared with 254 in the 2015–2019 window, a +59% 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 FIRE & Security Gmbh's 19.0 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 TYCO FIRE & Security Gmbh against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
