Company patents
CHAMPIONX LLC
Champion X LLC's patent strategy reveals a strong and rapidly emerging focus on Drilling & Mining, which saw a remarkable 262.5% year-over-year growth in 2025, now accounting for 34.8% of their portfolio. While Functional Materials (LCD, Lubricants) remains their largest category at 40.6% of the portfolio, the significant decline in patenting activity so far in 2026 across most categories, including a 64.0% drop in Functional Materials and a 62.1% drop in Drilling & Mining, suggests a potential shift or re-evaluation of priorities following a period of rapid expansion in 2024-2025.
