Biogray[edit]
Charles Denton Abel was born in London in 1831, the grandson of August Christian Andreas Abel, who was court miniature painter to the Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Schwerin,[1] and the younger brother of the chemist and explosives expert, Sir Frederick Abel, Chairman and Albert Medallist of the Society of Arts.[2]
In 1856 Abel entered into partnership with Mr. Charles Cowper, a patent agent, in England.[1] Following Mr. Cowper's death in 1860, Abel continued his work as a patent attorney and in 1871 entered into partnership with John Imray to form Abel & Imray with offices in the Holborn area of London, a firm which still operates under that name today.[3]
Abel assisted in founding the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents in 1882, and was the first Vice President of the Chartered Institute.[4] He later served as President from 1897 to 1899.[5]
He was elected a member of the Royal Society of Arts in 1886 and was awarded the Society’s Gold Medal for his paper on ‘The Patent Laws’ in 1904.[2]
Abel died in 1906.[2]
