Motorola has filed to register the MOTO Z trademark in the US
A recent discovery in the USPTO database reveals that Motorola has filed to register the MOTO Z trademark in the US.
In a rather interesting coincidence, the official USPTO documents reveal that Motorola filed to register the MOTO Z trademark on the same day that Blass made his comments. The discovery clearly shows that Motorola clearly wants rights over this trademark, but not all trademarks are usually put to use on real products. In light of recent rumors, however, this does seem to further fuel rumors of the demise of the Moto X lineup.
Other rumors say that Motorola is so committed to promoting the Moto Z brand that even the 2016 Verizon Droids will be sold as the Moto Z Play Droid Edition and the Moto Z Style Droid Edition. Obviously, none of this information can be confirmed at this point.
If the online rumor mill is to be believed, the Motorola Moto Z Style and Moto Z Play will be officially unveiled in the first half of June at Lenovo's Tech World 2016 event in San Francisco. For the mid-range Moto G4 series, Lenovo decided to hold the official unveiling in India, a country where budget-minded smartphones account for a great portion of the total market.
