John Henry Johnson (patent attorney)
John Henry Johnson was born in Kendal in 1828.[1]
He was one of the first specialist patent agents in the UK and became the founding President[2] of the Institute of Patent Agents (now the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys) on its formation in 1882.[3]
The firm of UK patent and trade mark attorneys of Bromhead Johnson traces its history back to J H Johnson, and his sons James Yate Johnson and George William Johnson[4].
