Like the copyright notice, you don't actually need the trademark notice for it to have legal effect. They both serve only as reminders for the user that copyright/trademark is in effect.
However, I believe that in the US the (R) symbol is protected for use for registered trademarks only (ie. using it without the trademark being registered is illegal). This is not the case within the EU.
