What to know

• The dual-mode FreeSip lid is the entire reason for the brand's TikTok virality — and it's the part competitors can't legally clone.
• Owala is owned by Pacific Market International, the same company behind the Stanley Quencher.

The cheapest first step is a provisional patent application, which locks in your priority date for 12 months while you validate the market. LegalZoom files provisionals from $199 + USPTO fees; you can also read the official USPTO patent basics first if you prefer.
