Hugo, the company in question (the US Geocode Inc) has nothing to
do with TomTom, but your link is quite interesting in any case.<br>

<div>Hi Simon,</div>

<div>that you may nor hear from them might be very true: see

<div>Is apparently part of TomTom, so if you need more info,
might be handy to check with them. They are Dutch so if I
can oblige, let me know, Hugo</div>

As I promised in February I investigated with our
North American counsel what they would consider
acceptable use of terms similar to the GEOCODE
trademark, they came back with examples that they
all considered OK. I've created a wiki page for
future reference <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geocode_Trademark">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geocode_Trademark</a><br>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>I apologize for the delay, I
was waiting for some closure on the matter,
however the company in question has not responded
to our correspondence. Personally I don't expect
to hear from them again since it now must be clear
that there is no money in it for them.<br>
