Yes. A registered trademark secures the owner of the following rights:

Right to use the mark exclusively
Right to petition for the cancellation of a later conflicting application
Right to petition for the removal of confusingly similar trademarks from fake goods
Right to file for an infringement case against third parties that are copying or using the mark without permission
Right to demand for damages from infringing parties
Right to appeal for the destruction of advertising materials – print and internet – that use a confusingly identical mark
Right to appeal for the confiscation of counterfeit goods using the registered the mark
Right to provide license to interested parties to use the registered mark
