Corporate Intellectual Property Roundtable

The Corporate Intellectual Property Roundtable (CIPR) provides an exclusive member forum for in-house IP professionals to exchange information, ideas and best practices about managing an IP portfolio. 

CIPR Membership Benefits

Each year begins with the Corporate IP Roundtable Kickoff, featuring a global IP leader as speaker and opportunities for members to network with each other and IP thought-leaders. This event is open only to members, sponsor representatives, and special guests.

After the kickoff event, roundtable meetings are regularly held both virtually and in-person to discuss various topics of interest. A few example topic areas include:

• IP inside the company, including incentives, senior management buy-in, culture, internal public relations, training and employee/vendor agreements
• IP marketing, including prioritization, licensing and selling
• IP enforcement/defense
• IP asset development, including prioritization, quality, cost and timeliness
  
  

Other CIPR Benefits

CIPR members also receive two (2) free registrations to the annual Corporate IP Institute, a premiere 2-day CLE that focuses on the issues most relevant to in-house IP counsel.
