Anyone who wanted to write a letter or scribble some notes on a piece of paper before 1943 used a fountain pen or pencil. The ballpoint pen was originally designed and produced as a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative to quill and fountain pens, and it was the most popular writing device. Many attempts by Inventors in the earlier years resulted in failed patents because their designs did not produce the ink evenly. They also had overflow and clogging issues. The brothers Laszlo and Gyorgy Biro obtained their patent for the ballpoint pen in June of 1943, changing how many write letters and conduct company.

Manufacturers today manufacture ballpoint pens by the millions and export them around the world. Ballpoint pens have made their way into our hands from advertisers of all sorts, assuring that we always have a ballpoint pen handy.
