declare javascript static methods in a more concise way

When I'm declaring instance methods in JS I often use this syntax:

var MyObj = function (p1) {
    this.p1 = p1;    
};

MyObj.prototype = {
    method1: function() {},
    method2: function() {},
    method2: function() {}
};

Is there a similar way to declare "static" methods instead of doing this:

MyObj.static1 = function() {
};

MyObj.static2 = function() {
};

MyObj.static3 = function() {
};

The only thing I can think of is doing it in two steps:

var staticMethods = {
    static1: function () {
    },
    static2: function () {
    },
    static3: function () {
    }
};

Then use this function

function registerStaticMethods(aClass, staticMethods) {
    for (var methodName in staticMethods) {
        aClass[methodName] = staticMethods[methodName];
    }
}

You would use it like this

registerStaticMethods(MyObj, staticMethods);
