With respect to damages recoverable from an innocent trespasser who extracts coal or other solid mineral from the land, the terms "royalty" and "value" should not be regarded as synonymous but as alternative measures of recovery. Hughett v Caldwell County, 313 Ky 85, 230 SW2d 92. 21 ALR2d 373. Royalty, when used in connection with a license under a patent, means the compensation paid by the licensee to the licensor for the use of the licensor's patented invention. This is substantially Webster's definition except that the latter adds "usually at a certain rate for each article manufactured, used, sold, or the like." The word rate itself does not define or designate the "unit." There have been various units used in license contracts under patents such as "device manufactured," "period of use," or "device sold." Royalty provisions frequently provide for the payment of a fixed amount per device manufactured, sold, sold or used, or for fixed payments per unit of time. Hazeltine Corporation v Zenith Radio Corp. (CA7 111) 100 F2d 10.
