There are international copyrights and TMs, but they function a little differently. I'm not totally sure of the nuances, but some countries refuse to adhere to other nations' copyright laws (coughcoughJAPANcoughsough).

I'm not sure if the US Patent & Trademark office means you're protected in multiple countries, but it'd make sense if the place you're supposed to go to to secure national Trademarks in the Us was the same as the one for international rights...
