Henry Lankenau's patent application for the "perfect Gem" also listed ease of applying to papers as one of the invention's advantages.

- Norwegians have proudly embraced their countryman, Johan Vaaler, as the true inventor. During the Nazi occupation of Norway in World War II, Norwegians made the paper clip a symbol of national unity.
