Best Answer

Copyright can refer to an evolving series of intellectual property laws, designed to protect original works of authorship. It can also mean the action of registering a copyright on a particular work. Royalties are payments that are made to a rights holder when an authorized copy of their work is sold/used.

Patents give the owner the right to use or sell a technology, invention or product. Violations of that patent can be challenged in court.

A royalty is an agreed percentage of profits and proceeds paid to pre-named beneficiaries in a legal agreement. Commonly musicians, writers, artists and software engineers gain royalties when their brands or products are mentioned or used by someone else.

For example a TV show would have to pay royalties to use extended pieces of Elton John's music.
