A Confidentiality Agreement is an agreement that protects confidential information during
discussions, proposals, reviews, analysis and negotiations. The agreement allows the disclosing party
to share valuable confidential information but retain control over how the information is used by the
receiving party. This type of agreement is useful when disclosing information to a potential
purchaser, having an invention evaluated, or when an employee will have access to or create
confidential information during their employment.
