- Corporate LawAnd advocate for investment in complicated technologies, processes, and concepts. At the same time, our comprehension of the complexities of corporate law facilitates the negotiation of agreements that reflect the value of the effort made by developers.
- Business DisputesWe have learned that clients prefer law firms structured around the client rather than the subject matter of the case. Many IP firms will shift clients around based on subject matter, which not only risks losing sight of the overall strategy that is best for the client, but also adds expense because each new attorney has to spend time familiarizing him or herself with the client’s strategy. At Peacock Law, your attorney generally sticks with you through your entire journey here, getting to know your business well. Each attorney at Peacock Law is broadly experienced enough to assist you in most if not all of your IP and business law matters. Where experience or qualification is lacking, another attorney may become involved as support.
- Trade SecretsChoosing the right intellectual property strategy for your product is an art and experience is essential to minimizing the time, effort, and expense involved. Depending on the product involved and the financial resources available to you, obtaining intellectual property protection could involve applying for trademark registrations, developing a protectable trade dress, applying for patents, maintaining trade secret protection, or some combination of the four. The attorneys, patent attorneys, and patent agents at Peacock Law are uniquely equipped to guide our clients on the right path.
- Intellectual PropertyDuring the winter holidays, the attorneys and staff at Peacock Law P.C., in Albuquerque, NM extend warm holiday greetings to our clients, colleagues and friends. But rather than send our well wishes in a generic card, we have started a holiday tradition unique to our intellectual property law firm—designing custom-made holiday cards that feature one of our client’s patented inventions, trademarked designs or copyrighted art. (Of course, we ask permission since their work is protected intellectual property.)

- Non-compete AgreementWhether your innovation is a complex cutting edge system for fighter jets or a simple personal self-defense device, Peacock Law has the diverse subject-matter expertise necessary to handle the cross-disciplinary nature of weapons and defense technology. Likely, patents will be the primary approach to obtaining protection of your security-related invention, but often the invention or some aspects of it should be maintained as a trade secret. If you plan on selling the product yourself, trademarks will be invaluable to ensure brand recognition and prevent knock-offs. Many security-related inventions are so complex that they must be developed by teams or multiple entities. In such cases, nondisclosure and noncompete agreements make it possible to share technology while protecting proprietary interests and bring certainty to the endeavor.
