A Post-it note is a piece of stationery with a re-adherable strip of adhesive on the back, designed for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces. While now available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes, Post-it Brand notes are most commonly a 3-inch (76 mm) square, canary yellow in color. The notes use a unique low-tack adhesive that enables Post-it Brand notes to be easily attached and removed without leaving marks or residue, unless used on white boards. - Wikipedia

3M introduced this in the market in 1977, it took time and heavy marketing to catch on. By 1980 it was selling in US and soon worldwide. 3M Patent expired in the 1990′s and others started producing this incredible piece of office supply with the Post-It name and the Canary yellow color remained a 3M trademark. 20 years on since then, and we still can’t do without these, even with a bunch of technology/ software to do this for us.
