The Inventor’s Council of Cincinnati is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the education and support of the independent inventor.

Just like any business inventing, or new product development, can follow a predictable and manageable process, one that does not necessarily have to cost you your life savings.

From developing and protecting innovative ideas to making and selling them, or finding someone to do it for you, the ICC can help. We provide the support you need to help make informed decisions about where you and your products are going, for example a great plumbing product could be used by a national plumbing company like https://www.drpipes.com.

The Inventor’s Council of Cincinnati meets every month to provide a forum for education and discussion. We feature expert speakers on topics of interest to independent inventors where discussion is open for sharing and answering questions. Our meetings are free of charge and open to the public!
