(*Patent Pending)

Grace.jpgA tipster sent along this patent application from Omaha attorney, Ryan Thomas Grace. The tipster says:

[I]t’s how a guy proposed to his fiancĂ©e. Pretty ingenious, provided she understands patent applications.

Here’s an excerpt. Who says patent attorneys aren’t romantic?

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a method and instrument for proposing marriage to an individual. More particularly, the present invention relates to a unique method and instrument for proposing to an individual by which the proposor can righteously tout the uniqueness of the proposal.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Since the advent of the human race, endearment between two individuals has been expressed through various means. In the situation where a man expresses endearment to a woman, such endearment is sometimes conveyed through different avenues as the relationship progresses. As is custom in several cultures, once a relationship between two individuals progresses to a certain point, one of the individuals (a proposor) must propose marriage to the other individual in order to advance the relationship. The anticipation of proposing can impress a high level of pressure on the proposor to propose in a manner that will receive an affirmative response from the individual. As this custom progressed, the high level of pressure from the situation has sometimes forced the proposor into implementing non-traditional methods of proposal in order to woo the individual into an affirmative response.

Part of the invention requires that the proposal recipient mail the patent application upon saying yes and accepting the diamond ring. Since the application is on file with the USPTO, ATL congratulates you, Ryan Thomas Grace.

Patent attorneys seems to enjoy mixing their work and their love life. After the jump, check out part of the program from the wedding of two patent attorneys.
