Hi Simon,

that you may nor hear from them might be very true: see here: 
http://www.geocode.com/
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

Subject: [Osmf-talk] Use of terms similar to GEOCODE

 
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 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geocode_Trademark


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.


Simon

From Simon's description, I think this is the Geocode in question:
