The first ballpoint pen patent, 392,046, was issued to John Loud on October 30, 1888.

László Bíró and Georg Bíró created the first commercial ballpoint pen. The brothers filed for a British patent on June 15, 1938. They also filed and received US patent 2,400,679 on May 21, 1946.

Loud's pen was developed to write on leather for the leather industry. Ball point pens that were suitable to write on paper took a number of patents years of further development. The big break for the common ballpoint pen was in 1945 when Gimbels Department Store marketed them, the price was $9.75.
