Bethesda has kept the Skryim content coming since its release in 2011. The most recent add-on, "Dragonborn," was a beefy extension, adding hours upon hours of new content into the existing game. But that might not be the last downloadable pack for the successful RPG.
More hints and allusions to what future DLC might entail has been found in some of the game's files before, but a lingering trademark may give the clearest indication of Bethesda's future plans. Zenimax has continually renewed the trademark for "Redguard," which was originally filed back in March 2011, but still hasn't done anything with the name. The publisher most recently re-upped the name in August 2012 as a "downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices." Our sister site OXK UK pointed out the trademark is set to expire again in Feburary of this year, though Zenimax still has plenty of time to renew it again.
Though Bethesda hasn't hinted at whether or not there will be more DLC for Skyrim, the Elder Scrolls franchise will undoubtedly continue. There's a slight chance "Redguard" could have something to do with an upcoming add-on, but there's also a slight percentage this could be used for a future Elder Scrolls title. Hammerfell, home of the Redguard, does border both Cyrodil and Skryim, both of which regions were home to the last two entries in the series. Unfortunately, until a more official statement is made by Bethesda, we'll just have to hope they're not quite finished with Skyrim just yet.

I absolutely loved Redguard. I still have the disks even though I no longer have a Voodoo compliant card, heh. As I recall they were going to follow it up with some Argonian thing, but it didn't do all that well commercially. Kal

I hope more Skyrim add-ons are on the way. A trip to Hammerfell could be cool. I do want to see a modern Elder Scrolls title set there because the sandy environments could be interesting and relatively unique for most RPGs. Actually I want to see all the provinces we haven't seen especially the Black Marsh and as always would like a return trip to Morrowind (fully), or at least a HD remake (Probably never going to happen). The Summerset Isles has been my guess as the region for the next full game, but we will see.

Also, I would like to point out that the trademark could refer to the Elder Scrolls Online, though that is less likely given the nature of that game. Which brings me to a question. Does anyone, OXM employee or otherwise, know if their have been talks about bringing The Elder Scrolls Online to the 360's successor next generation? I'm interested in it if it turns out well but would prefer to play it on consoles. I have not heard anything up to this point myself but if any online game were to make it to consoles this seems like the one that might.
