Non-disclosure agreements are an important legal framework used to protect sensitive and confidential information from being made available by the recipient of that information. Companies and startups use these documents to ensure that their good ideas won't be stolen by people they are negotiating with.
NDAs keep people from sharing trade secrets, proprietary knowledge, client information, product information, and strategic plans. NDAs keep people from making a profit on any secret company information. NDAs usually say that a company owns things that get developed or produced during someone's employment.
The cold hard truth is that most NDAs do not hold up in court. Non-Disclosure Agreements are most effective in establishing a paper trail of confidential information as it relates to partnerships, and discouraging partners from misappropriating proprietary information.
The NDA should clearly state the start and end date for the period of time in which the information may be exchanged between the parties. For example, you may wish to trade confidential information only at the start of the business collaboration. State the dates specifically.
