Should there be an overall "Trademark" disambiguation page to include those two, as well as "Service Mark" and the "Trademark" article itself? At a minimum, I would encourage improvements to the existing articles to explicate, at the top of each article, the differences. I (perhaps like the general public?) was unaware that all those distinctions are important but I belatedly found that out as a result of my confusion browsing those pages. Just a thought.
