Aleksi Moisio, a writer for Talous Sanomat, a Finnish publication, who was the first to tell IntoMobile about Nokia’s previously filed trademarks: Xseris, Cseries, Netbook and Money, brings news of a new trademark that was filed in Finland on October 14th: Ovi Prime Place.

We have absolutely no idea what Prime Place actually is, or when it will be announced, but if I was a betting man I would say it has something to do with Ovi Maps.

Update: And like clock work, Aleksi provided further clarification by leaving a comment below:

The description for the goods and services involved reads as following: “Mobile advertising services; providing an online searchable database featuring information about local businesses.”

So it has something to due with advertising … on maps? Time will tell.
