What to know
- Stasher pitched on Shark Tank in 2018 and went home without a deal — and still grew to a 2019 SC Johnson acquisition for a reported $100M+.
- The pinch-loc closure is the harder claim to design around; copycat silicone bags usually use simpler zip-style seals.

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.
