If you look at the RentRight v. WWM case, you'll see that's the exact
reason RentRight didn't win. If they can't win for not having a TM or an
SM, even when the other two conditions were met, then neither can we.

But who knows? Perhaps someone else set a different precedent that
changed things. Unfortunately, since I just recently moved, I haven't
had time to get to know any "lawyer friends". Perhaps Facter or ABP
could look into this?

As for what a service mark is, here's a definition I found:

A service mark is a name, symbol, word, or combination of 2 or more of
these that a person displays or otherwise uses to advertise or sell
services that the person performs to identify those services that the
person performs and to distinguish them from services that another
person performs. Examples of service marks: Wendy's (restaurant
services); Waxie Maxie (retail phonograph record store service); COMPUSA
(retail and wholesale computer services).

The only problem is that it sounds like you can only use the SM for
commercial use, but again I'm not sure. The site I found doesn't say
whether it's retroactive or not. We need to get a lawyer in here! :P

I'll be asking a friend sometime this week, we;re going to have noodles
sometime and i'll describe it to him then...he does corporate law, no
info..so if he doesnt know, then he'll probably have a look into it for me
with some other friends...
