Providing appropriate protection for your concepts is just one part of running a successful business. But when working to secure your market share, as well as your bottom line, you must remain alert to those who try to sneak in to claim the benefits of your labor.
How do I honor an NDA?
Nondisclosure agreements are used in the business and creative industries to protect confidential information. However, signing an NDA has become such a standard practice that few people give it much thought anymore. Because of this, you may believe that your only responsibility after signing on the dotted line is to not intentionally share the information with anyone.
What to include in a nondisclosure agreement
When you own and operate your own business, making smart hiring decisions is arguably just as important as protecting your business’s trade secrets. In fact, both efforts go hand-in-hand, because the people you hire to represent you are the same ones you must entrust with the ideas, formulas and other elements of your business that give you a leg up on the competition. At Bilicki Law, we recognize that drafting a strong nondisclosure agreement is your first line of defense against trade secret litigation, and we have helped many people navigate this and other issues relating to protecting intellectual property.
