That's unfortunate she hasn't earned any money off of her invention. I've been enjoying my fidget spinner. It really helps while I'm out walking the dog to give my free hand something to do, so I've been using it pretty much every day since I've gotten it. I hope her Kickstarter goes well.

I do sort of wonder if it would have gotten this popular if the patent was still active, though.
