ClearstoneIP Appoints Shawn Cantor as Senior Director, North America to Support Market Momentum

ClearstoneIP is pleased to announce that Shawn Cantor has joined the company as Senior Director for the North American market.

‍

With his extensive experience in intellectual property and patent strategy, Shawn will play a central role in expanding the company's footprint across the U.S. and Canada—helping more organizations adopt ClearstoneIP's purpose-built, product-centric platform for freedom-to-operate (FTO) and patent clearance.

‍

Shawn brings over 25 years of consultative sales and industry experience from organizations including Thomson Reuters, Clarivate, and Minesoft. His leadership will support ClearstoneIP's mission of transforming FTO risk management from a fragmented process into a strategic advantage.

‍

"Shawn's deep understanding of IP operations, combined with his passion for driving clarity and efficiency in patent workflows, makes him a perfect fit for ClearstoneIP," said Stuart Recher, Chief Commercial Officer. "We're confident his leadership will accelerate our growth and help bring our FTO solutions to an even broader audience."

‍

In his new role, Shawn will work closely with legal, R&D, and business teams to help clients implement ClearstoneIP's AI-enhanced FTO workflows, streamline cross-functional collaboration, and realize measurable outcomes—from 30%+ faster patent reviews to preserved institutional knowledge and reduced outside counsel costs.

"I'm excited to join ClearstoneIP at such a pivotal moment," said Shawn Cantor. "Throughout my career, I've seen the inefficiency, risk, and lost knowledge that comes with traditional FTO processes. What drew me to ClearstoneIP is the opportunity to represent a solution with exceptional client satisfaction and market validation that the tech transforms how organizations manage risk taking products to market. I look forward to helping more teams experience these tangible benefits firsthand."
