It's a Nothing Burger. There are clues, though, in the news release.
"A provisional patent application (PPA) is a patent application that can be used by a patent applicant to secure a filing date while avoiding the costs associated with the filing and prosecution of a non-provisional patent application."
"What are the benefits of filing a PPA?
A PPA essentially provides a one-year extension as to the filing of a U.S. non-provisional patent application. In doing so, a PPA provides an applicant with an additional year to experiment, perfect an invention, find financial backers, determine sales potential, find interested parties for licensing, etc. before filing his/her non-provisional application. Because a PPA is not examined, an applicant can also avoid the costs associated with prosecuting a non-provisional application during this one-year period."
