Justin R. Muehlmeyer

Justin is a partner of Peacock Law P.C. and Registered Patent Attorney practicing all aspects of intellectual property and a broad array of commercial and technology transactions, including licensing, acquisitions, procurement, confidentiality and franchising. He is a member of the firm’s Aerospace and Outer Space Practice Group and Dental Practice Group, with many of Justin’s technology clients also being in the fields of electronics, energy, mechanics, and consumer products.

Justin came to Peacock Law in 2015 from the New Mexico Supreme Court, where for two years he served as an attorney judicial law clerk to Justice Charles Daniels, assisting with the Court’s role in resolving the State’s most complex legal issues. Justin is a member of and has served as a chair of the Technology Transactions practice group of the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms, whose goal is to encourage diversity and quality in the profession. On a local basis, Justin has served on the Board of the IP Section of the New Mexico State Bar for years, including as its chair, and directs the State Bar’s annual Pro Bono Intellectual Property Law Clinic.  Justin performs the annual update to Thomson Reuter’s treatise on Employee Noncompetition Law available on Westlaw. When Justin is not helping his clients generate value from their great ideas, he is either playing classical Spanish guitar (which he did semi-professionally for most his life), learning the drum set, taking a tango lesson, exhausting himself practicing Muay Thai or backpacking in a remote corner of the world with his wife.
