Provisional Patent Application

We’ve often thought that it would be a lot easier to get motivated to do stuff if we had Adam Levine cheering us on. After all, he seems like a pretty good coach on The Voice, and who doesn’t love themselves a little Maroon 5? However, since we don’t even know Mr. Levine, the chances that we could call him up and have him come over to inspire us to do our math homework or fold our laundry are pretty much slim to none. Emphasis on the “none.”

But that all changed when we created the Propelevine, the motivational device that generates a hologram of Adam Levine singing inspirational quotes at the press of a button. Ever heard “the longest journey begins with a single step” sung in falsetto by an Adam Levine hologram? It’s a thing of beauty.

Now...we’re no fool, so we know that, as soon as word about the Propelevine gets out, everyone’s going to be trying to make their own Adam Levine-inspired motivational tools. That’s why we went ahead and submitted a provisional patent application.

A “provisional patent application” is like a “reserved” sign for patents: it holds our filing date and gives us one year to file a real patent application based on that date. Why is the date so important? Because if our provisional patent application has an early filing date of May 1, and then some other poser comes out with something similar called an Adamotivator with a provisional patent application date of May 15, we can prove that the idea was ours first. Which means we get the patent. Which means we get all the sweet, sweet coin that is undoubtedly going to roll in as soon as the rest of the world gets a whiff of the Propelevine.
