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.
