Portfolio overview

Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. has been granted 7,827 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. at rank #48 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 306 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 18.8 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, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. is one of the broader-portfolio assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Halliburton sits between Tencent Technology (shenzhen) Company Limited (8,039 patents, rank #44) and KIA Motors Corporation (7,264 patents, rank #52) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 72.7/100 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. Between 2020 and 2025 the company received 4,248 grants, compared with 3,579 in the 2015–2019 window, a +19% shift in five-year velocity. Steady filing volume suggests sustained innovation without dramatic pivots. 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. Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.'s 18.8 average claims per patent sits within the typical range for solid legal coverage without excessive prosecution cost, while a diversified footprint across 100+ CPC subclasses spreads risk across many technology fronts. Combined with portfolio volume, these signals let analysts, investors, and licensing professionals benchmark Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. against peers pursuing similar technology classes.
