Non-Disclosure Agreement
Definition:
A non-disclosure agreement, also called a confidentiality agreement,
is a contract in which parties promise the confidentiality of secret information.
A non-disclosure agreement can be used during employment or other types
of business transactions, including trademark and other intellectual property.
Rather than relying on an oral agreement, signing a
non-disclosure agreement is a way for parties to make sure
a confidential relationship is established.
Consequences of Non-Disclosure Agreements:
If there is a flaw in the non-disclosure agreement, it will fail to provide protection for you and your business. It is also difficult to determine what is covered by the agreement and what is not. If a partner breaches a non-disclosure agreement, you may take them to court for damages, which could be expensive and time consuming.What a Lawyer can do for you:
Asking a non-disclosure agreement lawyer to draw up a confidentiality agreement can be a way to ensure better protection. An intellectual property lawyer can make sure that all definitions and exceptions are clearly described in the non-disclosure agreement, alleviating any confusion it might cause. If an employer asks you to sign a non-disclosure agreement before accepting the job position, a intellectual property lawyer can look over it before you sign it.Lawyer Referral Service:
