Hi, Terry.
Since Australia is a first-to-file (rather than a first-to-invent) country in
terms of patent law, I would advise the inventor to talk to a good patent
attorney immediately (and not to show, or talk in detail about, the engine
to anyone else in the meantime). I think his first priority should be
protecting
his invention rather than finding an investor.
