US PTO (Patent and Trademark Office) would be a good place to start.

Oh, I do not know this before! So in this case, registering in my country is the best way? is It protect may domains enough?

If I remember well the cost is $375 for filing your TM online. You can pay using a credit card and upload your logo along with the name to TM, if any.
I don't believe you have to be a US corporation or citizen, actually foreign companies hold TMs in the US too.

Is it that popular, to TM and all.

it takes months to get approved also. But merely filing will protect you even before the TM goes through.

Realize, though, tht if someone infringes on your TM you better hope they don't have more money than you do becasue you will have a hard time suing them and being successsful. It's a lot like patents. Sure, you can patent and invention, but if, say, Proctor and Gamble comes a long and decides to steal your idea and profit from it, you will be hard-pressed to get anything done about it unless you have the money to pursue it legally.
