Lisensoitavan

Lisensoitavan is a Finnish linguistic term used to refer to a thing that can be licensed. It is the genitive form of the adjective lisensoitava, meaning licensable, and is used primarily in legal, contractual, and business contexts when specifying rights, assets, or content that may be granted under a license. Etymology: It comes from the verb lisensoida (to license) plus the participial suffix -ttava, producing lisensoitava, with lisensoitavan marking the genitive singular.

Usage: In Finnish licenses and agreements, lisensoitavan describes the object of licensing, such as lisensoitavan teoksen käyttöoikeudet (the usage rights of the licensable work) or lisensoitavan omaisuuden lisensointi (licensing of licensable property). It is often contrasted with lisenssi, meaning a license granted, and lisensointi, the process of licensing. The word is common in drafting practice and legal translation, where precise grammatical forms convey what entity is being licensed.

Grammar and variants: Lisensoitavan appears in various cases depending on sentence structure, as with other Finnish adjectives; forms include lisensoitava (licensable), lisensoitavan (genitive of licensable), lisensoitavaa (partitive), and so on. The term is not a standalone legal concept but a descriptive, grammatical category indicating that an item or rights are eligible for licensing.

Related terms: Common companions in discussion of licensing include lisenssi (license), lisensointi (licensing), and lisensointisopimus (licensing agreement). Used correctly, lisensoitavan helps clarify which assets or rights are subject to a license within Finnish contractual language.
