At work, I nail my uniform once in a while with a pen that I didn't click and spray it with Aquanet, throw it in the wash and presto. Also, hair shampoo for ring around the collar if anyone cares LOL.
May need to do a couple of applications.

The issue gets worse the longer the ink is allowed to remain on the leather. The leather sofa is likely coated with a color coat and a clear coat (Protected leather) although many leather furniture items are only partially leather and part vinyl made to look like leather, much like auto upholstery. The ink will penetrate the clear coat and be nearly impossible to remove if left to set. Ive had some luck using Leather Master Ink Lifter product but it was on fresh ink.
Once the ink has penetrated into the clear coat it becomes a matter of leather restoration rather than leather cleaning. This would mean sanding the topcoat to remove the stained clear-coat, and depending on how deeply the stain has penetrated, a re-dye, or at least a respray of some clear and quite possibly the use of a grain lifter to match the grain pattern. If leather cleaners, ink lifters don't work, this is best left to a professional leather restoration specialist. When restoring damaged leather you need to consider the color, texture(grain) and patina to make the repair disappear.
First rule to remember is "Dont cause more damage."
