Athenaeus, writing in the third century AD, mentions annual culinary competitions in the Greek city of Sybaris (located in what is now southern Italy) in 500 BC. The victor was given the exclusive right to prepare his dish for one year.

In England grants in the form of "letters patent" were issued by the sovereign to inventors who petitioned and were approved. A grant in 1331 to John Kempe and his Company is the earliest authenticated instance of a royal grant made with the avowed purpose of instructing the English in a new industry.
