A:
No trademarks are given global protection. Standard trademark registrations through the USPTO are limited to the United States. If you wish to register an international trademark, you must separately register per country/territor using the international trademark registration system called the Madrid system or Madrid Protocol. It is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) located in Geneva, Switzerland.
An international application may be filed electronically using the U. S. Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) for International Applications. Electronic forms are accessible at http://teasi.uspto.gov/. So in your case, you would need to register your mark in the UK using the Madrid Protocol.
