Haverly MacArthur

Haverly MacArthur helps clients build, protect, and enforce their brands and creative works around the world. Her practice centers on trademarks and copyrights, including domestic and international clearance, registration, portfolio management, licensing, and enforcement. She also advises on the IP aspects of corporate transactions, including due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and securities offerings, and handles IP audits, licenses, and assignments.

Haverly brings particular experience protecting and enforcing IP rights in emerging markets, where registration strategies and local enforcement practices can vary widely. Her clients range from multinational corporations, pharmaceutical companies, and educational institutions to construction companies, musical artists, and foreign businesses. She also serves as U.S. counsel to foreign law firms, managing their clients’ trademark and copyright matters in the United States.

As technology evolves and markets become more global, avoiding infringement and protecting a brand once it launches has never been more complex. Haverly helps clients navigate that landscape with practical clearance, registration, and enforcement strategies tailored to their business goals.

Haverly currently manages the international trademark portfolios of a leading provider of foreign language instruction and one of the nation’s largest homebuilders. She especially enjoys guiding a new brand from initial clearance through successful registration at the USPTO and trademark offices worldwide. Before law school, she studied at the University of Stuttgart and taught English to professionals at German companies, an experience that shapes her global perspective.
