Big News: Our Utility Patent is Officially Approved!
by Isabella Duarte-Crespo
Hi everyone, it’s Isabella here, founder of Hidden Innovations! I’m so excited to share some HUGE news with you—we officially have a utility patent for our underwear garment system!
If you’ve been following our journey, you probably know this has been a long time in the making. We started the patent process way back in 2018—I was still in middle school! Fast forward through years of brainstorming, designing, and filing a ridiculous amount of paperwork, and here we are: PATENT APPROVED!
So… What’s the Big Deal About a Patent?
Okay, let’s break it down. A utility patent is basically the VIP status of inventions. It protects how our product works—not just how it looks—which means our idea is officially recognized as one-of-a-kind.
Our product? It’s a specially designed underwear garment system that helps people with urological, incontinence, and intestinal conditions feel more confident and comfortable. But here’s the fun part: it’s also super helpful for women during menstruation. It’s all about making life easier, and I’m so proud that we’re able to create something that can help so many people.
Why Does This Matter?
Honestly, this patent means everything to me. It’s proof that a small idea can turn into something big—something that can actually change lives. Plus, it’s a huge step toward my dream of partnering with brands like Target, Hanes, Kohl's or JCPenney to bring this product to the masses. Imagine walking into a store and seeing this product on the shelves. How cool would that be?!
The Journey (AKA: The Fun and Not-So-Fun Parts)
Getting a patent isn’t exactly a walk in the park. It’s more like a marathon where you occasionally trip over hurdles. But every “Are we there yet?” moment was totally worth it. This milestone reminds me why I started Hidden Innovations — to make a difference for people like me, people who deserve solutions that work for their unique needs.
What’s Next?
Now that we’ve crossed this milestone, it’s all about the next steps! I’m dreaming big, and I can’t wait to see how far this journey takes us. Whether it’s licensing the patent to a major brand or continuing to innovate, the goal is the same: helping as many people as possible.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way—your encouragement and belief in our mission mean the world. And if you’ve ever had a dream or idea you wanted to pursue, here’s your sign to go for it. Seriously, if I can do this, you can do anything.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates—and maybe some behind-the-scenes fun!
With love,
Isabella 💙
