will there be a lead role on technologies? can someone create licensing or royalty fee for a technology across game for commercial gain?

Given even our society can't really enforce patents across international lines, probably not. I bet there's a fame bonus for getting a tech first, and it wouldn't surprise me if you could sell certain results of technology to other cultures, such as selling units or maybe even agreeing to build certain structures for other nations (probably have to be allies first) for a fee.

i think this can be managable tech tree is complex right and not all tech connected each other someone can declare they are pioneering a branch of the tree and demand fee for access

The problem with that is that there's not really a way to enforce that. There's no international patent office that will go "Hey, you aren't supposed to research horseback riding without waiting longer or paying a fee!" New weapons lead to arms races, not the slower learner paying a fee to their rivals. That's why instead of a negative penalty against the slower player it should open new positive options for the faster player, like the ability to sell your services/stuff to other societies and definitely fame.

i am not saying adding research time penalty to other players i say that you may have a word for someone do same research or making the tech commercial. they can develope it. if you want an immersive game you should in real life technology works this way. they are up to create good economic models but intellectual property rights are full of shit ? what kind of communist panel is this i am calling nato.

I'm having a little difficulty parsing that grammar, or lack thereof, but it sounds like you're saying that the only way to research something that someone else has "claimed" is to pay them. By that logic, after the USSR launched Sputnik the USA should have payed them before launching their own satelites. That's not what we did at all, we just tried to figure out how to do it all ourselves (with possibly a little assistance from espionage, which is still not paying) and tried to pick up the pace in our research.
