Company patents
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC
Baker Hughes Holdings LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising shift away from its core Drilling & Mining sector, which has seen a dramatic 92.9% decline in patenting from 2024 to 2025, now representing only 19.9% of its portfolio. Concurrently, while Material & Chemical Analysis remains its largest category at 27.5% of the portfolio, the company appears to be de-emphasizing several materials-related areas, with Alloys, Cement & Ceramics, and Powder Metallurgy all experiencing 100.0% year-over-year declines in patenting so far in 2026.
