A mark is a small stain or damaged area on a surface.
A mark is also a number or letter which indicates your score in a test or examination.
Note that in American English, the word for this is usually points.
Mark sometimes appears in the name of a vehicle or machine, followed by a number.
However, you do not refer to a type of product as a 'mark'. If you want to indicate which company makes a product, you use the noun make.
