In today’s world, having a source of income is the chief priority of every individual. With multiple opportunities to make a living, some resort to art, in the form of writing, painting, or music. With the intent to encourage artistic innovation and inventions, Section 80RRB for patent royalty is promoted in India.

After the development of any product/idea, to safeguard the ownership rights of the creator, a patent or exclusive rights came into being. According to the World Intellectual Property Indicators (WIPI) report, there were around 3.3 million patent applications at the end of 2018, and it was estimated that it will rise by 5.2% every year.
In simple words, an exclusive right of ownership given to a creator over their creation for a specific period of time is called a patent. A patent is given in exchange for the details of the creation. For instance, a new product was developed and patented by an individual. This person will now receive royalty, that is, an amount paid for the use of a patent till the date their patent is valid.

However, it can be made available for public use in exchange for royalty, or the sum amount provided by the third party to use it for a specific time period. An income through royalty will depend on the creation and the agreement made by the third party.
