New Mexico law

Intellectual Property Laws in New Mexico.

Most intellectual property law is federal: patents (35 U.S.C.), copyright (17 U.S.C.), and federal trademarks (15 U.S.C.). New Mexico provides state-law trademark registration through the Secretary of State, common-law trademark protection, and trade-secret protection under the New Mexico Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Patent and federal trademark matters are litigated in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe).
