Did you know that there is controversy over who invented the first paperclip?
Johann Vaaler patented his paper clip in 1901 and has drawings of this paperclip dating back to 1899, but Norway didn’t have a patent law at that time soooo he went to Germany and it took a few years to get the patent. During those years, others tried to patent their design some successful but Vaaler gets the credit because of his drawings!
Several other paperclip designs have followed and progressed.
