Great! A provisional patent application is a quick (and relatively inexpensive) way of obtaining a priority date of filing - to sort of 'stake your claim', giving you a one year window to convert to a full application, as I'm sure the attorney will tell you. Indeed, the beauty of simple (and unique) things is that they often appeal to the markets big-time. How many times do we come across something really simple and cool only to kick ourselves: why did I not think of this? All the best and God speed.
