Posted on February 7, 2025 by webmaster

As a Member of CincyIP, you will enjoy access to discounted registration rates for our monthly CLE luncheons and for our annual Premier Conferences. You will also receive our CincyIP newsletter!

We are pleased to announce that membership dues paid in 2026 will cover membership for both 2026 and 2027. Membership dues are an essential element of the budget that enable CincyIP to operate throughout the year and host CLE events of premium quality. They help to bridge the gap between the programming costs that we incur and registration fees paid by attendees, and they ultimately allow us to provide you with engaging and educational events worthy of your valuable time and attention.

Our membership categories are as follows:

Active-Professional: $85
The majority of our Members are legal practitioners in private practice or corporate environments and fall within the “Active-Professional” category. Patent agents also fall within the “Active-Professional” category.

Active-Academic: $55
We recognize that law professors and similar academics may not receive reimbursement for their registration fees through their employer, and thus we reserve a discounted “Active-Academic” category for these individuals.

Associate-Professional: $55
This category encompasses non-lawyer individuals such as interested business persons, paralegals, legal assistants, etc.

Student: $5
This category encompasses students. Please note that this category of membership does not carry voting rights.

Honorary: Free
This category encompasses Judges and other distinguished persons. Please note that this category of membership does not carry voting rights. Honorary members are not required to pay dues. Please contact president@cincyip.org to request activation of your honorary membership.

If you have questions regarding which category of membership you qualify for, please contact us at president@cincyip.org.
