AUGUST FREDERICK HERBSLEB is one of the prominent Cincinnati lawyers, engaged in the fields of patent and corporation practice, and a native of Cincinnati where he has followed his profession for nearly thirty years.  Mr. Herbsleb was born May 22, 1866, at Cincinnati, and after graduating from the graded and high schools, entered Cincinnati University, where he completed the prescribed course in 1886.  Having decided upon a career in the domain of law, he enrolled as a student at the Cincinnati Law School, where he was a member of the graduating class of 1889, at that time receiving his cherished degree of Bachelor of Laws.  Admitted to the bar shortly after his graduation, Mr. Herbsleg began his career with the firm of Parkinson & Parkinson.  Three years later, however, he severed his connection with this concern and since that time has been engaged in patent and corporation practice.   Mr. Herbsleb's reputation is high and substantial and his practice is virtually confined to patents, trade marks and copyrights, and corporation matters, carrying him into the Ohio State Courts, the United States Courts, Courts of  Appeals, and Supreme Court.  He is likewise counsel for several large corporations of Cincinnati and elsewhere.  In addition to holding membership in the county, state and federal bar associations, Mr. Herbsleb maintains a number of important social and civic connections.
