Aspirin was invented by German chemist Felix Hoffman on behalf of the Bayer Company in 1897. Hoffman based his work on the rediscovery of work on Acetylsalicylic acid by French chemist Charles Gergardt in 1832. Bayer released Aspirin as a prescription pain reliever in powder form in 1899 and further refined the product and released it in tablet form as an over the counter drug in 1915. As a result of the Treaty of Versailles, Bayer (and Germany) was forced to give up the trademark in 1919.
