Arthur Colefax

Sir Henry Arthur Colefax, KBE, KC (9 July 1866 – 19 February 1936) was a British patent lawyer and Liberal Unionist politician.

[1] In 1894 he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, and quickly became an acknowledged expert on patent law.

[1] At the January 1910 general election he was elected as Liberal Unionist Member of Parliament (MP) for Manchester South West, benefiting from a split in anti-Unionist vote between the Social Democratic Federation and Liberal candidates.

Much of his work was involved in Anglo-German patents, but this was ended by outbreak of the First World War.
