For those who may not have known the answer:
Adapted from Wikipedia-The ballpoint pen (also eponymously known in British English as a biro is named after its inventor László BÃró from Hungary. BÃró was a newspaper man who invented the modern ballpoint pen because he was frustrated about how much time he spent filling fountain pens. BÃró moved from Nazi Germany to Argentina and patented his pen there in 1940.
The first patent for a ballpoint pen was issues in 1880; but the pen could not be used for writing letters as it produced a thick line and was never commercially developed.
