Do trademarks and copyrights transfer across borders?

Question

We are starting a web startup which will eventually do business in multiple countries. We want to find the best way to protect our assets in all countries equally against infringement. If we register the trademark or copyright in one country (UK) does this transfer to the other countries as well?

I think it is too early to plan about protecting IP in multiple jurisdictions. It all depends on how the business flourishes which will decide the value of the IP invested . Still if you want to , in order to register trademark in multiple jurisdictions, the Madrid Protocol has laid down a streamlined process, and UK being a member of the protocol will make it more easy to register trademarks in other member countries.
