I have leather sofa too. And pen marks will go with any good quality leather cleaner.
For me, I have Kenneth cole leather cleaner for my Jacket, I use the same for sofa. it works good.

hi padyala,
actually what we did was,when we bought the leather sofa,we also bought stain safe fabric care with that in value city !..you can also try whether the stain safe fabric care is separately available in your nearest value city stores..you can try asking for that..and i have not tried any solutions to clean the sofa as i am afraid whether those solutions may damage the leather or may cause discoloration.
thanks

Try MagicEraser.. I know it takes ink marks off of cabinet doors. might work on leather too.

I have a leather cleaning kit which is specially made for cleaning leather can be bought at furniture shops

I also just a few days back found a pen in welmart which will erase off pen stains on leather cost maybe a dollar really useful.

Dear padyala
Use acetone (nail polish remover) it removes sketch, ball point pen marks even the hair colour from all surfaces like walls, skins, also sofa. Try it out and let me know please.
