Hi Don,
So you are volunteering as an expert witness? =D
And yes sadly the situation is silly, but difficult to deal with as
with the OSMF being a small organization with little in the way of a
legal fund.
Best,

If anyone gets around to challenging GEOCODE, Inc's trademark claim, a
couple of quick searches will find that the term has been in use in GIS
literature for ~45 years. For example, I organized a working session on
Geocoding in 1971. I put together a collection of papers called
GEOCODING-71 which Google books shows available in nine libraries in the
USA and Canada. At the bottom of page 54, there's even a reference to a
commercial product called GEOCODE. I really wish these people would do
something useful with their lives and talents rather than annoy others with
groundless legal actions.
