lisensioitu

Lisensioitu is a Finnish adjective that describes something that has been granted a license by an authority. When a product, service, or professional activity is lisensioitu, it is legally permitted to operate or be used under the terms of that license. The status signals regulatory compliance and authorization to perform the relevant activity.

The word is formed from lisenssi, meaning license, with the -oitu suffix that creates a past participle, translating roughly to "licensed" in English. The form is widely used in both official and everyday language in Finland to indicate that the relevant permission has been obtained.

Licensing is common in many sectors. Lisensioitu software may require a license for use or redistribution; lisensioitu professional practice requires credentials; lisensioitu activities can involve handling regulated goods, operating in certain industries, or offering services subject to government oversight. In product labeling or service descriptions, lisensioitu helps consumers identify authorized offerings.

Licenses are typically granted for a defined period and may be renewed, with conditions, inspections, or ongoing compliance requirements. A lisensioitu designation can be revoked if the license terms are violated, ending the legal right to operate or distribute the licensed item.
