I can't answer fully, but grant writing (proposals?) is creating justifications, a case for a grant, and in doing so, asking for donated money - and involves a certain writing style and format. Some people have perfected it and are in great demand because it can involve millions of dollars. There are likely specific courses and seminars involved in that.

Patent law demands a certain expertise in legal issues involving patents, applications and the process for that, and probably you would need at least a higher degree in a technical/specialty field. If your specialty field were patent processes involving distillation of exotic fluids and gases, you would have to keep abreast in your field.

Copywrite laws, I have no knowledge, except minor stuff involving a couple of collaborations I was in.

Some of the information above comes from having taken a Technical Writing course - which helped my writing a great deal, even if it was years ago. Ask around, go to some patent attorney's offices and chase the "good answer" with pertinent questions.
A large university with a good research department will have or will be associated with people inside or outside the university who write grant proposals, often in teams. Study some grants and how they are written. Ask them what they think how a good grant proposal "reads".

They are completely different things.

Grant writing can be done for anyone -- and just involves putting together a document asking for money to do research or fund a project. It is not a legal document. Anyone can become a specialist in grant writing.

Patent Law involves putting together documents to file with the patent office or to create copyrights or trademarks (note spelling) for inventions, ideas, music or written works. This is a specialty within law. To be a lawyer you usually have to go to law school and then pass the BAR exam.

Grant writing usually involves writing RFPs, (Request for Proposals) asking for funds to start or keep a project going. It involves telling the granters what your project is about, and presenting a plan for your program. It includes a business plan with a budget, other sources of funding, a list of your board of directors plus much more.

Patent law is specifically what it says. They are proposals to issue a patent, protect a patent, and allow a procedure to liigate anyone infringing on your patent.
