Happy Birthday, Patty!
Hello Everyone! I think we're going to do blog posts on the last day of the month - what do you think? This way, you'll know they're coming and you can build your anticipation.
This month is a special one. It's the anniversary of the day the Underwire Camisole was PATENTED! That's right - the Underwire Camisole's Patent was approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) two years ago today. In case you're unfamiliar with the Patent Process, essentially, you work with an attorney, submit to the USPTO for review, and wait. And wait. And wait. About a year or two later, you hear back whether or not the patent was approved.
My patent was under review for over a year. I learned it was approved when I got a letter in the mail from an Intellectual Property Acquisition firm offering to buy the patent. I didn't even know I had a Patent and they were already asking to buy it?! Suffice to say, I did not sell it to them.
I have my Patent sealed in plastic, kept safe from the world. On occasion, I do flip through it, just remind myself it's real. I've been told that if you patent something it means you've invented it, and if you've invented something, you're an inventor. Like Albert Einstein, I, Sophia, am officially an inventor.
In honor of Patty's birthday, I'm offering 30% off the site with code Patty30 through Sunday, November 30th at 11:59 PM EST. If you've been eyeing the Underwire Camisole, this is your time to grab it! Because it's patented, no one else can make - so, you won't find it anywhere else. ;)
