The name "Spork" is a blend of the words (sp)oon and f(ork) and has also been called the runcible spoon (mentioned by Edward Lear in his 1871 poem "The Owl and the Pussycat"). A spork is a eating utensil that can be used as both a spoon or a fork.
Spork Trademerks & Patents
The name Spork was trademarked registered by the Van Brode Milling Co., Inc., of Clinton, Massuchests in 1969 for a piece of cutlery combining the features of a spoon, a fork and sometimes a knife. A New York Times article mentions that Hyde Ballard of Westtown, Pennsylvania filed an application to register "Spork" as a trademark around 1952. In the United Kingdom, "Spork" has been trademark registered by Plastico Limited (TM 1052291) since 1975.

The Van Brode Milling Company subsequently registered SPORK for a combination plastic spoon, fork and knife at the USPTO on October 27, 1970, but abandoned the registration several years later. The word Spork accompanied by a stylised design is currently registered in the U.S. in relation to hand tools, in the name of a UK based individual (reg. no. 2514381).
There is no one person who is credited for the design since it has been around since the Middle Ages.
You asked I looked it up.

No I don't really care but I earned 2 points for answering Your question, didn't I? How much did it cost You? Now give Me the "best answer" award that I have so rightfully won!
PS:The plastic "spork" was probably invented back in the 1960's about the same time as the "splayd" was becoming popular. In Scandinavia.
