What is creation?

Or innovation for that matter? When can we say that we go beyond combining possibilities or options, and add something new to the end product?

Should "robots" (or adaptive/evolutionary systems) be granted copyright or patents? Do they create when they make something new - or are they just "cogs in the big machine"? Is it the user/owner or the creator who holds the key to the creation?

And can you put a claim on evolution?
