Is it possible to still get royalties in an outright sell / assignment of your patent deal?
<p>If you sell your patent completely for a large lump sum, is it still possible to work royalties into that deal somehow?</p>

<h2>If you sell it, you don’t own it</h2>
<p>That’s what “sell” means. So, once you’ve sold your patent for a lump sum, it’s no longer your patent and you no longer have any rights to it. This includes the right to licence it’s use for royalties.</p>
<p>If you are actually asking if you can licence its use for an up-front lump sum <em>and</em> ongoing royalties, then, yes.</p>
