If you register a copyright, that means you've created something and want to protect your rights to it. You can then license others to use that work. So copyright registration is saying "this is mine," and copyright licensing is saying "but you can use it."
Registration involves filing documents, for copyright protection, with an official government agency.
Licensing is a negotiation between two or more parties wherein permission is granted, from one party to the other, to use copyrighted material in exchange for some type of remuneration.
Licensing a work means the rightsholder allows a certain specific use, often for a limited time. A single work can be licensed many ways to many people for many purposes, and the original rightsholder retains all the rights granted by the law.
Assignment is the (often) permanent transfer of copyright to another entity. The original rightsholder surrenders their rights to the new copyright holder.
Not really. Registration used to be the way to formally protect your work through copyright. Registration is not required for protection anymore: a work of sufficent originality is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium. Some countries and private companies offer registration separately.
Owning an image or the copyright to an image are the same thing. When you hold the copyright to an image it is yours to do with whatever you will, and you can decide who has permission to use it or not. There is no difference.

I assume you are asking the difference between plagiarism & copyright infringement. While both are essentially the use of someone elses work without permission, the most significant difference is that plagiarism also involves claiming that material as your own work.
The difference between loan licensing and contract manufacturing is that a loan licensing business has the ability to give out loans to their customers. A business that seeks out a contract manufacturer is looking for a company to manufacturer his or her products.
Broad-based licensing would cover every paralegal. Limited licensing is government permission to persons meeting specified qualifications to engage in designated activities that are customarily (but not always exclusively) performed by another category of license holder.
A patent is the right, granted by the government, to exclude anybody from making, using or selling your invention. A copyright is the protection of an expression of ideas, such as art or a novel
