The last Mana game to see release was 2007's Heroes of Mana; before that, the very weird physics-based action RPG Dawn of Manacame out on PS2.

The other trademarks reportedly filed include Wizardlings, which was also recently filed in the US (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/08/09/wizardlings-is-one-of-square-enix-usas-next-projects/) by Square Enix, along with Agent 47, which refers to the Hitman character, and "Ultima Box," which likely refers to the gigantic collection (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/31/final-fantasy-ultimate-compilation-coming-to-japan-priced-aro/)announced recently. Whatever these are, it's likely we'll find out at TGS this month.
