HOUSTON, Oct. 26 -- ExxonMobil Chemical Co. said Wednesday a federal appeals court has upheld its patent for a polyethylene manufacturing process.

The company also announced a cross licensing deal with Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., a joint venture between Chevron Corp. and Phillips Petroleum Co.

The appeals court confirmed ExxonMobil's patent on metallocene catalysts used to manufacture polyethylene, overruling a decision by a Houston US District Court judge.

ExxonMobil and Chevron Phillips said the license deal settled all patent disputes between the two companies related to metallocene catalysts.

Under agreement, Chevron Phillips obtained a license to use the "loop slurry process" of Univation, a joint venture between ExxonMobil Chemical and Dow Chemical Co. for polyethylene manufacturing. Terms were not disclosed.

Metallocene catalysts are used to make products ranging from automotive parts to diaper components.

The Future of US Refining

When Fri, Feb 6, 2015

Oil & Gas Journal’s Feb. 6, 2015, webcast will focus on the future of US refining as various forces this year conspire to pull the industry in different directions. Lower oil prices generally reduce feedstock costs, but they have also lowered refiners’ returns, as 2015 begins with refined products priced at lows not seen in years. If lower per-barrel crude prices dampen production of lighter crudes among shale plays, what will happen to refiners’ plans to export more barrels of lighter crudes? And as always, refiners will be affected by government regulations, particularly those that suppress demand, increase costs, or limit access to markets or supply.
