On an eternal level, I believe ideas, inventions, innovations etc. will be communal. I don’t think anyone will lay claim to something for all eternity (besides God, who created/set the parameters of the Human Experience).
Take a song for instance. There is a finite number of five minute songs in existence. We will be in an endless cycle of creating music, forgetting it, creating it again, etc. But, I believe we will be taking turns at creating those songs. All getting a chance to live out our fantasies. You will be the one creating and singing your favorite song someday, and not just in a simulated reality, but in Heaven itself.
But, I believe this is true for all ideas. That we will be in an endless cycle of creation, forgetting, creating again, etc. And that we will all be taking turns at being great thinkers, innovators, artists, developers, musicians, etc.
We all own all innovation in a sense, it’s just a matter of when it’s our time to be in the spotlight for it. It will be interesting to see how something like this knowledge affects our philosophies/experience in Heaven.
