Is there some legal reason to scatter announcements with that many ® symbols, or do they just do it for style reasons / because they think it makes the announcement look more impressive?

		Using the symbol allows them greater protection under the Lanham act, because it counts as “notice” that the mark is registered. Without it, it limits your ability to recover damages from infringement.

		Legal. Gotta protect your trademarks.
