Royalties are payments made to the owner of intellectual property (IP) for the use or exploitation of that property. This compensation is typically a percentage of revenue generated from the use of the IP. Intellectual property can include things like patents, copyrights, trademarks, and in some cases, mineral rights or rights to literary or artistic works.
