      László József Bíró (born as László József Schweiger) was a
      Hungarian-Argentine inventor
      who patented the first commercially successful modern ballpoint
      pen.
      The first ballpoint pen had been invented roughly 50 years earlier
      by John J. Loud, but it did not attain commercial success.
