Embraer is pursuing trademark applications for its Energia family of reduced-emissions aircraft, with attorneys for the Brazilian manufacturer this month dealing with the initial refusal by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of some aspects of the proposed designations on the grounds of “likelihood of confusion.” The applications, which were published on December 14, 2021, cover four nine- to 50-seat models to be powered by a mix of hybrid-electric, hydrogen, duel-fuel gas turbine, and electric propulsion systems.

The applications now being processed cover the 50-seat hydrogen-powered E50-H2GT regional airliner, and the 19-seat E19-H2FC. These are expected to enter service, respectively by 2040 and 2035, serving routes of between 200 and 500 nm.
