It’s called a QR code, and you are correct, there is an iPhone app for it, which lets you save and look up the company’s information from the QR code. See the source for a list of apps and some more information.

It’s a QR code. Often used in mobile phones to link people to web addresses or advertising text.

from Wikipedia -

“A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes. Most current Japanese mobile phones can read this code with their camera.” – Wikipedia
