1) those who can count
and
2) those who cannot
There are 3 sorts of people in the world:

Novel to the audience
Non-obvious
Then it is an invention – even a medical
invention since…
A good joke should be:

Creative Industries
• Most IPRs require a minimum level of originality
(inventive step, deviation from prior art, novelty
degree, distinctive uniqueness, etc.)
• Thus most IPRs require creativity
• Most industries are using IPRs
• Thus most industries are “creative industries”
thriving on useful creations, i.e. innovations

The Boredomia IP and Welfare Investigation
Summary
”Lack of technical character should not be a
valid ground for exempting inventions from
patentable subject matter…
New, non-obvious and useful therapeutic,
surgical and diagnostic methods should also be
regarded as inventions.”
Article 1, Chapter 1, Boredomia Proposed New Basic Law on
Intellectual Property. (In provisional translation as of 2007)
![Page 9: Industrial Management and Economics, Chalmers © Ove Granstrand 1 Creativity and IP in Arts and Sciences – Some economic puzzles and paradoxes Prof. Ove.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cee5503460f949bbc7f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

The Boredomia Initiative
(Supported by Entertainment Industry Association, General Joke Co., Start-up Comedians of Boringgrad among others)
Some proposals:
• Jokes should be considered medical inventions prolonging expected life times and increasing quality of life, therefore contributing to welfare
• Not only jokes about engineers (thus having “technical character”) but jokes in general should be patentable subject matter.
• Jokes in general should be patentable subject matter, subjected to the standard test of novelty, non-obviousness and usefulness.
• Training of BPTO joke examiners should start a.s.a.p. in consultation with Dept. of Health.

Opposition Against the Boredomia Initiative
(Supported by the Open Joke Movement, The Anti-Bore NGO,
Humour Rights Association among others)
Some arguments against:
• “Humour is a human moral right”
• Jokes are public goods
• High transaction costs outweigh welfare gains
• Little or no investment character with little entrepreneurial risktaking requires no extra private incentives
• Joint production and consumption provides sufficient reward structure
• Positive production and consumption externalities (cf. contagious laughter)

Background
• IP views on universe creation
• Views on the creative universe

Purpose
Explore puzzles and paradoxes, based on “diagonal” (extreme) sampling in the creative space, for:
1. Furthering economic analysis
2. Finding unifying IPR legal and economic principles
3. Improving the creative process

Chronological overview of early major events in IPR development
Year(s) Event
3,200 BC Potter marks found on fired clay pots, including jars buried in tombs of the First Dynasty Egyptian kings, providing a precursor to trademark protection. Stone seals or cylinder seals bearing such marks were used from about this time onward in both the Near East and Greece.
700-500 BC Chefs in Sybaris, a Greek colony in southern Italy known for luxurious living, were granted one-year monopolies on the preparation of an unusual or outstanding dish. This right applied to no other art or science.
Ca 350 BC One of the first recorded unauthorized copying events occurred when Hermodorus copied Plato´s speeches and without passing them off as his own, he took them abroad to sell for his own profit. An early “bootleg” incident.
330 BC A law is introduced by the Athenian statesman Lycurgus, requiring that a transcript of the works of the great poets should be deposited and read to the actors by the city secretary in order to have them keep to the original text. Thus there was concern over not only plagiarism but also distortion, i.e. the creation and the creator were jointly recognized and protected as a basic IPR bundle.
100 BC Trademarks used in Rome on an everyday basis to mark products such as cloth, lamps, glass vessels, cheese, and medicine.
40 – 100 AD the roman poet Marcus Valerius Martialis were so upset when others used his poems without reciting his name that he equalled it to kidnapping for which in latin is the word “plagium” (plagiarism).
Ca 100 AD An acknowledgement of intellectual work and effort in the Roman empire is visible in the legal institute of specificatio. Specificatio was a method of acquiring ownership by the creation of a new thing out of someone else’s materials. If someone created a marble statue out of someone else´s marble the statue could be considered a “nova species” (a new thing) whereby the statue came to belong to the creator.
337 AD Roman emperor Constantine decrees that artisans of certain critical trades are exempt from all civil duties. Chariot makers, engineers, and locksmiths are especially favoured.
