How to Protect Confidential Information

You need to have strict procedures in place in your business to ensure that confidential information is not inadvertently disclosed to the public, which could destroy its protected status. Legal assistance from a solicitor who is experienced in intellectual property law is essential.

• Confidentiality of information should be considered at the outset before entering into discussions with business partners, suppliers and manufacturers
• It is important to put any recipients of confidential information on notice that the information they receive is confidential.
• A written confidentiality agreement should be put in place so that team members with access to your confidential information are bound to maintain confidentiality, and do not take unfair advantage once they leave your employment
• A written confidentiality agreement or NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) is important so that the obligations of each party can be made certain
