uso autorizado
Definition
Uso autorizado is a Spanish legal phrase that means 'authorized use,' referring to the specific ways a person or business is permitted to use something they do not own, such as a trademark, piece of software, or piece of property. The owner of that thing has given explicit permission for certain uses, and anything outside those boundaries is off-limits.
Example
If you license a logo from a designer and the contract says you can only use it on your website, printing it on T-shirts would fall outside the uso autorizado and could expose you to a lawsuit.
Watch Out
Always get the exact scope of your authorized use spelled out in writing, because vague permissions can leave you legally exposed when disputes arise.
