Company patents
Huntsman International LLC
Huntsman International LLC's patent strategy reveals a significant shift away from core polymer-related innovations, with a notable decline across major categories like Polymer Synthesis (Polycondensation) (-31.6% YoY in 2025, -61.5% so far in 2026) and Polymer Additives (-57.1% YoY in 2025, -100.0% so far in 2026). This broad decline, even in its dominant Polymer Synthesis (Polycondensation) category which represents 84.8% of its portfolio, suggests a re-evaluation of its traditional materials focus, despite minor, albeit inconsistent, activity in areas like Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) and Footwear.
