The idea behind this site is to bring together inventors and investors by using a Directory of topics where the inventor can position his details and, if he has patent protection, his invention.

An inventor, after making his patent application, can illustrate an outline of his invention on a full page (but without claims), and is enabled to make a limited disclosure to an interested investor. (He may decide to issue a Confidentiality Agreement, to be on the safe side).

Inventors who have not yet applied for a patent can seek contact from interested investors by choosing the appropriate topic and subdivision to appear on their half page. They must then issue the Confidentiality Agreement before revealing any more, and of course verify the identity and bona-fides of their contact.

Therefore, this directory will enable investors interested in particular topics, to scan and then explore various possibilities (subject to signing the Confidentiality Agreement where required).

Furthermore, the invention may be at an early enough stage in the patenting process, for it to be extended internationally - something the inventor may be unable to afford alone, so here the liaison with the investor becomes important for the life of the invention.

At the same time, inventors with patent protection are able to advertise their wares, showing them in just sufficient detail on this website to enable an entrepreneur to make a choice and contact the inventor in order to come to an arrangement.

Additionally, inventors with a full patent granted may not have the means or the time to hunt for support, though drained by the costs of annual renewal. Here too this site offers benefits all round.

WARNING: Inventors must take all necessary steps to protect their invention!

At present Eseli Registration is for inventions in the fine arts. Eseli will soon expand to include design/industrial design and copyright.
We shall be happy to hear other ideas.

In the UK and most other jurisdictions under current law no disclosure of the invention should take place before the patent application is made unless a confidentiality agreement is signed by the person or legal entity to whom the invention is disclosed, in advance. In some countries a “grace period” is permitted allowing disclosure before filing, but that although permissible in some states, jeopardises protection abroad. You should seek advice from a qualified patent agent on the laws relevant in your own jurisdiction.
