A marque, which is pronounced in exactly the same way as the word/name mark, is a brand which can also be a trademark, but generally refers to a given manufacturer who has long produced a line of products, i.e. the Bentley marque has produced a long line of high-end automobiles. A marquee, pronounced mar-kee, is the table that you would find outside a theater or similar where the the attractions are highlighted. A Marquis, also pronounced mar-kee, is noble title.
Gee, I was willing to give John the benefit of it being a typographical error.
