Company patents
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.
Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. demonstrates a clear, albeit narrowing, focus on its core energy sector, with Drilling & Mining representing a dominant 83.4% of its patent portfolio, despite a -55.3% decline in patent grants so far in 2026. While the company saw significant growth in Pumps (Positive Displacement) (YoY +54.8%) and Pumps (Centrifugal) (YoY +88.5%) in 2024, these areas, along with most others, show a notable decline in patenting activity in 2025 and so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift in R&D investment or a strategic re-evaluation across its technology domains.
