commercial use

Commercial use refers to how a product, service, or intellectual property is used to make money or support business activities. It involves applying something in a way that generates revenue, promotes sales, or enhances a company's commercial interests. This can include selling a product, incorporating copyrighted material into a commercial advertisement, or using content in marketing campaigns. Essentially, commercial use distinguishes from personal or educational use, focusing on activities that have a business or profit-oriented purpose. It is a key factor in licensing and copyright considerations, determining whether permission is needed to use certain materials.
