Motorola files trademark for Electrify Icon mobile phones and smart phones

Motorola Electrify Icon

Last week, I reported that Motorola registered a handful of “Electrify Icon” domain names like ElectrifyIcon.com and MotorolaElectrifyIcon.com, and now we have more details on what we can expect to see with the Electrify Icon.

On April 11, 2012, Motorola Trademark Holdings submitted a trademark application for the “Electrify Icon” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The “goods and services” in the filing (Serial Number: 85594941) cover, “mobile phones and smart phones”.

Motorola released its “Motorola Electrify” Android-powered smartphone last year, also known as the Motorola Photon 4G.

At the time of this story, Motorola has made no official announcement regarding the “Electrify Icon”.

Motorola Mobility registers a handful of “Electrify Icon” domain names

Motorola Electrify Icon

On April 10, 2012, Motorola Mobility registered several new domain names around the phrase “Electrify Icon”.

The registrations include names such as ElectrifyIcon.com and MotorolaElectrifyIcon.com.

At this point, it’s unknown what exactly the “Motorola Electrify Icon” will be, as Motorola has not officially announced plans for a product by the same name.

The “Electrify Icon” could be the next phone in the company’s Electrify line, but at this point, it’s just speculation.  Motorola released the “Motorola Electrify” Android-powered smartphone last year.

Here’s the full list of domain names that were registered this week:
