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?

Hello: Registering a trademark in one country does not transfer it to other countries. Trademark Registrations are national, and there are other Trademark Registrations which are regional such as the European Trademark. Copyrights are protected once they are fixed in a tangible media.
