Foundation Financial Group reviews - It is also possible for an employee to sign


an NDA or NDA-like agreement with an employer. In fact, some employment agreeme
nts will include a clause restricting employees' use and dissemination of compan
y-owned "confidential information."
In rare cases, the contract may state that the existence of the NDA itself canno
t be disclosed.The first step to determining the appropriate content for a non-d
isclosure agreement is to determine the type of agreement that you need. Most ag
reements tend to be one-way agreements, or unilateral agreements, where one part
y wants to disclose certain information to another party but needs the informati
on to remain secret for some reason, perhaps due to secrecy requirements require
d to satisfy patent laws[2] or to make sure that the other party does not take a
nd use the disclosed information without compensating the discloser. A non-discl
osure agreement can protect any type of information that is not generally known,
and there are a number of places where one can find royalty free non-disclosure
agreement templates for use.
Foundation Financial Group jobs I am frequently asked whether it is necessary to
get a confidentiality agreement signed after a patent application has been file
d. As with many legal matters, the answer really cannot be summed up into either
a YES or a NO, but rather is somewhat complicated. The short answer, however, i
s that you are always better off getting a confidentiality agreement signed when
ever possible. The only caveat is that you do not need a confidentiality agreeme
nt when you are speaking with an attorney. Attorneys do not sign confidentiality
agreements and are invariably scared away from representing those who ask for a
signed confidentiality agreement. Attorneys are already legally obligated to ma
intain client information in confidence, and on top of that patent attorneys and
patent agents are specifically required by Patent Office rule to keep informati
on confidential. It is simply urban legend that attorneys steal inventions. Ther
e has never been a single provable case of an attorney stealing an invention. It
simply doesn t happen.
Foundation Financial Group interview # No Use. Some non-disclosure agreements fo
rget this important element. The Discloser wants to make sure the Recipient does
not use the information for any purpose other than that set forth in the agreem
ent.
# Limits on Information Deemed Confidential. Practically every non-disclosure or
confidentiality agreement puts some limits on the type of information that will
be deemed confidential. For instance, if the Recipient already knew the informa
tion before it was revealed by the Discloser, or if the information was revealed
to the Recipient by a third party, that information will not be treated as conf
idential under the agreement. Other possible limits include information that bec
omes publicly known, information that is requested by order of a government agen
cy, or information that is independently developed. The Discloser may require a
certain level of proof before such information is considered non-confidential.
