Payment to the holder of a patent or copyright (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

royalty

(Other definitions for royalty that I've seen before include "payment for literary work?" , "Sovereigns" , "Sum paid for use of a patent" , "People on thrones?" , "Sum paid to author for each copy sold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
