Royalties
Royalties (sometimes, running royalties) are usage-based payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing use of an asset, most typically an
intellectual property (IP) right. Royalties are usually determined periodically as a percentage of gross or net sales derived from use of the asset or a fixed price per unit sold. . A royalty interest is the right to collect a stream of future royalty payments, often used in the
oil and gas industry to describe a percentage ownership of future production or revenues from a given
leasehold, which may be
divested from the original owner of the asset.
