Confidentiality-non-disclosure clause






Confidentiality-non-disclosure clause

A contract term that requires participants not to disclose specified types of proprietary information, such as patents, trade secrets or copyrighted material, learned while performing a job. It should be limited to a defined duration, such as when the information is made public, or a one or two year period after employment or assignment. It should identify as specifically as possible the type of material to be kept confidential, and should limit in scope the nature of the material.
