This question is about the proper use of the hyphen in cases where there is a a registered trademark symbol or similar involved.

I am not aware of any exceptions to the rule that requires the use of the hyphen between the compound adjective and the noun it modifies when the compound adjective includes a registered trademark symbol.

It does look a bit strange visually with the hyphen after the superscript symbol.

Your input is much appreciated.

I do not think the ® symbol has any impact on this personally

There are some rules on hypens here:

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): I never use a hyphen nor a space, I treat it the same way as a footnote.

Explanation:
Hi George,

Which tool are you using? If you're on InDesign or a similar designing software, you may want to tighten the space between the superscripted ® and the hyphenation, which is called kerning.

  -> I offered this option because the reason that it looks weird is the extra spacing that appears between the superscripted ® and the hyphenation.
