When in doubt, go to the source:
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/doc/basic/trade_defin.htm

     *  A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a 
combination of words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and 
distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
     * A service mark is the same as a trademark, except that it 
identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a 
product. Throughout this booklet, the terms "trademark" and "mark" refer 
to both trademarks and service marks.
