HP has filed for a trademark application for the term PalmPad, which has led many observers to suggest that the company will name their upcoming WebOS tablet by the name.
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P applied for the trademark.
In April, HP purchased Palm for $1.2 billion, after outbidding RIM, Apple and Lenovo.
With the acquisition, the company also acquired all of Palm's patents and its WebOS mobile operating system.
HP has promised to use the operating system on tablets, printers and other non-computing devices, as well.
