Does a US trademark apply internationally or do you have to register it in every country in which you do business?
Generally, you must register a trademark in any country where you plan to enforce it. There is also a European Community Mark that covers most of Europe, and also a Madrid Protocol that streamlines registration in a number of countries. A trademark does not have to be registered at all to be protected in the US, but it is much easier to enforce a registration.
