Company patents
BJ Energy Solutions, LLC
BJ Energy Solutions, LLC's patent strategy reveals a surprising and consistent decline across its core areas, with Drilling & Mining, its largest category at 80.3% of the portfolio, experiencing a -50.0% YoY drop in 2026 so far, following significant declines in prior years. This trend is mirrored in Pumps (Positive Displacement) and Gas Turbine Plants, which have seen YoY declines of -54.5% and -40.0% respectively in 2025, indicating a broad shift away from patenting in these historically dominant fields.
