In my experience (7 years as a corporate lawyer), a law dictionary would only be consulted for legal terms of art, which "procurement" is not. For most terms, a regular dictionary definition is used.

At any rate, I don't see how the definition cited would clear up the matter. It's a big leap from "the entire process of purchasing goods" to "commercial use". Like "use", which I discuss above, "commercial use" is a common term of art, and it would be strange to say "procurement" if what you mean is "commercial use".

Well, I was trying to shift the focus to "automated valuation model". That's used in other places and seems to be a term of the art in finance, e.g. this Kansas consumer bill: http://kslegislature.com/li_2016/b2015_16/measures/documents... Hence Zillow probably doesn't qualify, since it doesn't do loans or banking.

But the courts are so random; I'm guessing this case will be determined primarily by how much the judge that gets assigned likes technology. It'll be interesting to follow up on.
