Profile

Imran F. Vakil is a senior associate at One LLP, a California intellectual property and entertainment law firm with offices in Los Angeles and Orange County. Imran regularly advises clients regarding protection, management and licensing of brand names, designs, software, proprietary business information and other intellectual property assets. The majority of his practice, however, is focused on resolving disputes over patents, trademark and trade dress, copyright, trade secrets, unfair competition, and related business torts through litigation or settlement. His successes include a widely publicized lawsuit involving a trademark and trade dress infringement dispute against one of America's five largest water bottling companies (successfully settled with no money changing hands and no disruption of the client's business, despite a potential liability of several million dollars), and a $572,000 verdict on claims of trademark infringement, copyright infringement, theft of trade secrets, fraud, conversion, and breach of fiduciary duty for a client whose former executive had taken numerous confidential documents, materials and other trade secrets to set up a competing company.

Imran holds a bachelor's of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California, an M.B.A. with an emphasis on finance from Pepperdine University and a Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School.
