Protecting Innovation. Defending Your Competitive Edge.
In today’s innovation-driven economy, intellectual property (IP) is more than a legal asset—it’s a cornerstone of market leadership and competitive strength. At IX Legal, we help businesses protect their IP portfolios with powerful, business-minded litigation strategies tailored to your industry, objectives, and bottom line.
Our firm exclusively represents the business side of IP litigation. That means we work with companies—not individuals—to enforce, defend, and preserve the integrity of intellectual property in the face of infringement, misappropriation, and contractual disputes. Whether you are an emerging startup, a mid-sized enterprise, or an established multinational, IX Legal is your strategic partner in safeguarding what sets you apart.
Led by seasoned litigator Kalpana Nagampalli, who brings a strategic, client-first approach to complex disputes, our team delivers agile, effective representation for clients in high-stakes trademark battles.
