Your definition is for comercialize. It is not for productize.

Yes and No. No they are not the same thing in the sense that one =
(commercialize) is acceptable and proper usage while productize is NOT. = Yes
they are the same thing in the sense that both refer to taking = something,

Commercializing and productizing are not the same. The English =

Commercializing would be the correct term and the term that has =

I have no spin. I can say that productizing as a verb is not =
double speak. It gets used all the time to describe taking a = technology,

I will be curious to see Rich S's spin on this.
