Hymen Lipman, an American inventor, received the first patent for attaching an eraser to the end of a pencil in 1858. However, this design was later revised by Hyman Lipman and Joseph Reckendorfer in 1875, leading to a legal dispute over the patent rights, which ultimately established the eraser-tipped pencil we use today.
