Trademark Transactions
Protecting Your Brand. Powering Your Business in New York.
At IX Legal, we go beyond registering trademarks—we help you leverage them.
Your trademark is more than a logo or a name. It's one of your most valuable business assets. Whether you're buying, selling, licensing, or franchising, the legal foundation behind your trademark must be strong, strategic, and secure. Our trademark transactions practice is designed to help businesses in New York navigate the complex legal landscape of brand ownership with confidence.
What Are Trademark Transactions?
Trademark transactions involve any transfer, licensing, or agreement that affects the ownership or use of a trademark. These legal arrangements can directly impact your brand’s value, your competitive edge, and your ability to scale.
At IX Legal, we provide comprehensive legal support for:
- Trademark Assignments (Buying or selling trademark rights)
- Licensing Agreements (Granting others the right to use your trademark)
- Co-Branding and Collaboration Agreements
- Franchise Agreements
- Due Diligence in Mergers and Acquisitions
- Trademark Security Interests (Using trademarks as collateral)
We work with companies of all sizes, from early-stage startups in Brooklyn to established global brands headquartered in Manhattan, to ensure every trademark transaction is handled with the precision New York businesses demand.
