ArentFox Schiff is pleased to announce that Partner Joseph M. “Joe” Maraia has been named to the IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders 2026 in the United States. IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders showcases many of the world’s foremost IP professionals across major markets in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Joe’s approach is defined by a forward-looking, personal understanding of each client’s business. He partners closely with in-house stakeholders to align patent and broader IP strategies with concrete commercial objectives, providing in-depth, strategic intellectual property and business advice that advances growth, mitigates risk, and enhances enterprise value. His specialty is solving business problems that involve complex intellectual property rights, from freedom‑to‑operate and portfolio development to competitive positioning, licensing, and dispute avoidance.

A former electrical engineer and master electrician, Joe brings a rare combination of technical fluency and commercial acumen to guide clients through high-stakes innovation and market access issues. He has extensive experience in both domestic and foreign patent prosecution and regularly counsels on freedom‑to‑operate, infringement, and validity. Joe’s work has earned repeated recognition from The Best Lawyers in America, Best Lawyers, Managing Intellectual Property “IP Star,” and Massachusetts Super Lawyers.

“I am honored to be recognized by IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders,” said Joe. “My focus is to understand each client’s business model and competitive landscape so that IP is not only protected, but actively leveraged to support revenue, partnerships, and long-term strategic goals.”

The IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders is widely regarded as a premier recognition for IP strategists whose work shapes portfolios and drives business outcomes. Joe’s selection underscores his reputation for business-centric IP strategy and his track record of delivering practical, market-aligned solutions for companies operating at the intersection of innovation and commerce.
