If the pen was sold with a contract that said the seller has the rights to anything written with it, then yes. These types of contracts are actually quite common, for example an employment contract will almost certainly include an IP grant clause. Pretty much any website that hosts user-generated content as well. IANAL, but quite familiar with business law.

In most of the rest of the world, these sorts of overreaching "we own everything you do anywhere" clauses are decidedly illegal.
