Since most people replied directly to me I thought I would pass on the
answer:
Service Mark
Many people said they weren't sure what it meant, but I think I'll give
it a shot because of the usage in the sentence I'm working with.
"Through its advanced, data-hosting CyberCenters SM and relationship
with KPMG, Qwest is able to provide application hosting services."
I think the symbol is being used to describe a service rather than a
product. I don't know the legal implications though. What do you
think?
