There is always a good indication of what is to come when a company has something go somewhat public through an FCC filing. The only downfall of an FCC filing is that the name of the device can be tricky to identify. With trademarks at the USPTO, that kind of stuff is out and open for everyone to see. So today we have learned that Motorola has trademarked the name Moto Maxx. Interestingly, this associates two of Motorola's brands with one device. The first part, Moto, belongs to the company's own flagship devices for different regions around the world. The latter, Maxx, has typically stayed with Verizon and the DROID line of devices.

Is the DROID name finally being put to rest? We will just have to wait and see. If that is the case, then this would presumably be the successor to last year's Motorola DROID Maxx.
