Clement Asante helps companies, inventors and entrepreneurs protect, enforce and defend the intellectual property that supports their businesses. He handles patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret disputes, as well as commercial and contractual matters involving the ownership, development and use of intellectual property.
Clement represents both intellectual property owners seeking to enforce their rights and companies defending against infringement and related claims. He works with clients from the early stages of a dispute through trial, arbitration and appeal, helping assess risk, develop strategy and position matters for resolution. His patent litigation experience spans technologies including biomedical devices, software and software-as-a-service platforms, mechanical products, health care technology and consumer products.
His patent work also includes claim construction, where he has developed and briefed positions, prepared for Markman hearings and argued claim construction issues before a federal judge. In matters involving complex technologies, Clement works with inventors, engineers and technical experts to understand the issues at stake and translate technical concepts into clear legal positions.
Clement has examined and cross-examined witnesses in arbitration and has worked on appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. He also represents clients in trademark, copyright and trade secret disputes involving infringement, misappropriation and unauthorized online uses of intellectual property.
Beyond active disputes, Clement counsels clients on intellectual property issues arising during product development and commercialization. He helps clients evaluate how to protect new technologies, assess potential infringement and align intellectual property strategy with broader commercial goals.
