that sounds fishy by itself - either copyright is transferred to you, or you 
licensed the IP in question and pay royalties for it. AFAIK there is no legal 
scenario in which you both register the IP on yourself AND pay royalties for 
it to a third party. it doesnt make a lot of sense either (only the owner of 
the IP can register it, and the owner does not pay royalties to himself).

Wenn einer mit Vergnügen zu einer Musik in Reih und Glied marschieren kann, 
dann verachte ich ihn schon; er hat sein großes Gehirn nur aus Irrtum 
bekommen, da für ihn das Rückenmark schon völlig genügen würde. Diesen 
Schandfleck der Zivilisation sollte man so schnell wie möglich zum 
Verschwinden bringen, Heldentum auf Kommando, sinnlose Gewalt und die leidige 
Vaterländerei, wie glühend hasse ich sie, wie gemein und verächtlich erscheint 
mir der Krieg; ich möchte mich lieber in Stücke schlagen lassen, als mich an 
einem so elenden Tun beteiligen! Töten im Krieg ist nach meiner Auffassung um 
nichts besser, als gewöhnlicher Mord.
