Embraer S.A. is currently managing 8 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners, which indicates that most applications are being reviewed by different individuals. This distribution requires the company to maintain multiple simultaneous prosecution tracks.
The portfolio spans 7 distinct art units, matching the number of distinct examiners. This suggests a broad technical footprint where nearly every examiner belongs to a different specialized unit. Because the number of pending office actions is 8, there is a slight concentration of activity in certain technical areas relative to the 7 art units involved.
IGUE, ROBERTO TOSHIHARU is the busiest examiner, with 2 busiest examiner pending actions currently assigned. This examiner handles more of the portfolio than any other single individual, although the other pending office actions are spread across different examiners. The prosecution strategy must balance the specific requirements of this busiest examiner with the diverse needs of the other reviewers in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (62%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
