Detailed explanation-1: -The first patent for a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October 1888, to John J. Loud, who was attempting to make a writing instrument that would be able to write “on rough surfaces-such as wood, coarse wrapping-paper, and other articles” which then-common fountain pens could not.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tool they developed was comprised of a pen with a metal ball bearing at the tip, which applied the ink onto paper and other surfaces. On December 11th, 1945, Bíró was issued U.S. Patent No. 2390636, which is titled Writing Instrument, to protect his innovation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The principle of the ballpoint pen dates from the late 19th Century when patents were taken out by John Loud in 1888 for a product to mark leather and in 1916 by Van Vechten Riesberg.
