Peter Afrasiabi and John Tehranian Named to Variety’s 2013 Legal Impact Report Feature On the Top 50 Entertainment Lawyers

Founding partners Peter Afrasiabi and John Tehranian, were recognized in Variety’s 2013 Legal Impact Report, which profiles the world’s top 50 entertainment lawyers. Variety’s 2013 Legal Impact Report featured Peter and John, along with other noted attorneys from O’Melveny & Myers, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Munger Tolles & Olson, Kirkland & Ellis, and Loeb & Loeb, in its list of the top litigators in the business.

Variety highlighted Peter and John’s victory in Mavrix Photo, Inc. v. Brand Technologies, Inc., 647 F.3d 1218 (9th Cir. 2011), cert. denied, 132 S. Ct. 1101 (2012), which resulted in a widely watched and precedent-setting decision for the entertainment industry that has substantially increased the ability of content owners to bring suit in their home jurisdiction when infringers exploit copyrighted works online before a national audience. In the past year, at least 86 federal court decisions have cited to the case, which earned an extensive recent write-up in the Harvard Law Review.

Protect Your Copyrights

In the copyright arena, our lawyers have represented numerous clients in high profile cases that have tested the boundaries of copyright law, from the clash between intellectual property rights and First Amendment interests, the scope of fair use rights on the internet, and the application of foreign copyright law in American courts to the limits of the work-for-hire doctrine, the exercise of copyright termination rights and the boundaries of the first sale doctrine.

Trademark Protection

Trademark and brand protection is a critical cornerstone of our intellectual property system. We litigate many high-stakes trademark disputes involving both infringement and dilution claims, as well as federal and state unfair competition law. We also counsel clients on securing and protecting their trade and service marks so that their brand maximizes its value. All in all, we recognize how both to preserve brand value and how to avoid liability for infringement.

Entertainment & Media Law

One LLP has a specialized entertainment and media law practice—a practice that transcends the traditional copyright and trademark boundaries of other law firms. Renowned and internationally recognized movie studios, photography agencies, publishing companies, artists, musicians, writers, journalists, and media outlets have repeatedly sought our guidance in handling complicated legal issues at the interface of art, entertainment, journalism and commerce.

Patent Litigation

Our patent litigation practice rivals that of many larger firms, but without the inefficiency and inflexibility that are often a byproduct at larger firms. We can also offer alternative billing structures ranging from fixed fees, to flat monthly fees to contingency. As a small firm, we take pride in having efficiently and successfully handled complex patent litigations for both the largest corporations in the United States, as well as small companies and even individual inventors.

Trade Secrets

Trade secret litigation is a dangerous area for the unwary. Knowing the contours of trade secret law is critical if you are to win your case. What may be viewed as protection of corporate secrets to one person may be an unlawful attempt to stop someone from competing if viewed differently. At One LLP, we regularly litigate trade secret cases, and have achieved important victories for our clients.

Business Disputes

We take pride in our ability to distill simple, compelling arguments from the confusing legalese found in most complex business agreements. We have expertise in a wide variety of commercial disputes, and can handle virtually any dispute that ensnares your business. We have handled complex contract disputes for all types of clients, including multimillion dollar actions for publicly traded corporations, from California to New York.

Appeals and Appellate Counseling

Our appellate lawyers have clerked for the Ninth Circuit. Our appellate lawyers have litigated dozens of appeals. Our appellate lawyers teach appellate advocacy. Our appellate lawyers run a Ninth Circuit appellate clinic at Chapman Law School. At its core, effective appellate advocates must know their audience of judges and know the appellate courts. Appellate advocates must be creative with the law.
