USPTO PatentsView assignee record - 167 granted patents across 27 technology areas, active 2020–2025. Filing-trend and competitive-moat analysis cross-referenced to USPTO Patent Public Search. Primary class: E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS).
The verdict
BJ holds 167 US patents across 27 technology areas, rank #2,344 of 50,000 tracked assignees.
BJ Energy Solutions, Llc has been granted 167 US utility patents between 2020 and 2025, placing BJ Energy Solutions, Llc at rank #2,344 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 27 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 21.1 claims per patent with primary concentration in E21B (EARTH OR ROCK DRILLING; OBTAINING OIL, GAS, WATER, SOLUBLE OR MELTABLE MATERIALS OR A SLURRY OF MINERALS FROM WELLS). As a US Corporation, BJ Energy Solutions, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, BJ sits between Tribune Broadcasting Company, Llc (168 patents, rank #2,340) and Materion Corporation (167 patents, rank #2,348) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 68.8/100 blends portfolio volume, filing velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Filing cadence tells the strategic story. Historical data spans 2020 through 2025, with 167 total grants over that period. Velocity comparisons require five years of historical filings to calibrate. The US Corporation classification further shapes interpretation, since corporate, government, and individual filers pursue patents for materially different reasons.
Claim depth and technology breadth together indicate competitive posture. BJ Energy Solutions, Llc's 21.1 average claims per patent reflects complex, broadly scoped inventions that are difficult for competitors to design around, while a multi-domain presence across 27 subclasses balances depth with breadth. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark BJ Energy Solutions, Llc against peers pursuing similar technology classes.

How to use this portfolio
BJ's 167 grants land it in the top 1% by Innovation Score, but volume alone doesn't tell you where the strength sits.
Patent counts and the Innovation Score measure patenting activity, not commercial success or the legal strength of any patent. Many patents are filed defensively. Verify the status of an individual patent against official USPTO records.
