57-3B-2. Purpose and intent of act.
The purpose of the Trademark Act [57-3B-1 to 57-3B-17 NMSA 1978] is to provide a system of state trademark registration and protection substantially consistent with the federal system of trademark registration and protection under the Trademark Act of 1946, as amended. It is the intent that the construction given the federal act should be examined as persuasive authority for interpreting and construing the Trademark Act.
