Nondisclosure Agreement Attorneys in Oklahoma

In this information age, intellectual property, terms of art, business know-how, and other forms of business-related knowledge have become the true sources of a company’s wealth. However in some cases, persons who are in possession of valuable information may need to disclose that information to another person to perform their job. Bearing this in mind, some legal mechanism for the control of information must exist if business is to get done. This mechanism is known as a non-disclosure agreement.

A non-disclosure agreement is a contract between the owners of intellectual property, proprietary data, etc. and persons authorized to possess that information that specifies the terms of under which such confidential information may be shared and penalties for varying from those terms. A properly crafted non-disclosure agreement can help to protect your trade secrets, inventions, and other know-how from theft or unauthorized distribution. An improperly crafted non-disclosure agreement can be a recipe for disaster. In fact, in some circumstances, the lack of a proper non-disclosure agreement can make it perfectly legal for another person to use or disclose your secrets to anyone they wish.
