<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>

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> <BR>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

<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></o:p></P>
