Did you know Sarah Blakely, the brains behind Spanx, wrote her own pat
22 Likes, TikTok video from Roland Frasier (@rolandfrasier): “Did you know Sarah Blakely, the brains behind Spanx, wrote her own patent? She had $5,000 from selling fax machines and a determined spirit. Using a book called 'How to Patent Patents and Trademarks,' she crafted her patent herself. But there was a catch – she struggled with the legal claims section. 📜 So, she returned to a lawyer who had quoted a hefty fee earlier, and he helped her at a discounted rate. Little did he know, Sarah was dead serious about revolutionizing women's undergarments! 🩲✨ #SarahBlakely #Spanx #girlbosstribe”. original sound - Roland Frasier.
