Do Biro actually still make biros?
I've never seen one that I can remember.

It seems that the Biro pen company
died in 1948, but BIC started making pens in 1950 based on Biro's patented designs and is the market leader today selling fourteen million pens a day!

I believe
Bic own the Biro trademark. Check Bic's faqs. I think that's where I saw it.

Dammit!
It was Bic I was thinking of I think.
Lazlo Biro just invented it.
